Author Robert Roy Britt» World Population to Hit 6,666,666,666 in May Buzz up! del.icio.usTo many people, this means nothing. But of course 666 refers to the Beast in the Bible. Heaven knows what ten sixes means.I don’t know who first noticed this looming numerical curiosity, but it was mentioned today on the Drudge report. So sometime in between May 1 and June 1, the gaggle-of-sixes milestone will be passed. (I say gaggle rather than googol, which is a 1 followed by 100 zeros. I could also have used a gazillion or a jillion or a bazillion, all of which are just figures of speech meaning “a lot.” Clearly, the number of people on Earth is a lot more than umpteen.)The Census Bureau of course never knows exactly how many people are on the planet, or even in the United States for that matter. It’s all estimates. Just fun.The last big “six scare” was 06/06/06 (June 6, 2006). We survived that, so I imagine we’ll get through this one.
