THAT’S THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE currently inhabiting the Earth’s surface (according to http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html at 19:11 UTC, July 13, 2010), less the nine currently orbiting it (according to http://www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/).
(Data maketh strange bedfellows. But at least we know how many.)
Oh how I’d like to make this 6,855,687,280 and 10.
Did I burn dinner again?
