Texsox Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 By SAM ROBERTS If the experts are right, some time this month, perhaps somewhere in the suburban South or West, a couple, most likely white Anglo-Saxon Protestants or Hispanic, will conceive a baby who, when born in October, will become the 300 millionth American. As of yesterday, the Census Bureau officially pegged the resident population of the United States at closing in on 297,900,000. The bureau estimates that with a baby being born every 8 seconds, someone dying every 12 seconds and the nation gaining an immigrant every 31 seconds on average, the population is growing by one person every 14 seconds. At that rate, the total is expected to top 300 million late this year. But with those projections adjusted monthly and the number of births typically peaking during the summer, the benchmark is likely to be reached about nine months from now.

sox4lifeinPA Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I would suspect that a lot of posters here could help in this cause... tasteless joke alert...don't scroll down unless you're prepared... I warned you... if it weren't so difficult to impregnate their palm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of that website where you can figure out when to try to conceive, so that the birth of the child doesn't interfere with any major sporting events.
