Take that China!

The U.S. population officially hit 300 million at 7:46 a.m. EDT this morning. For the zero impaired, that's 300,000,000. It hit 200 million way back before I was born in 1967. According to the Population Resource Center, the U.S. is a distant third in terms of population. China, the big winner, has a population of 1,313,000,000. Only a billion more than the U.S. India, a close second, has a population of 1,112,000,000. Come on America, we've only need 1,013,000,001 more to claim the top spot!
