One cleaning lady actually stole my Champion Boxer Briefs from the dryer when she was folding laundry. Wife saw them in her bag when she left the house. Had another that stole light bulbs from the storage cabinet in the garage. Guess I need to free-ball and be un-illuminated

to better get your head around this:

Think of all the people that have been born and died on this planet since the dawn of mankind....there are more people alive on the planet right now than the sum of of all those previous people.
This one is impossible to calculate. I'd say it's wrong, but in the future if growth rates continue as they are now, it will eventually statistically probably be right. The impossible variable is figuring out of the people alive today, how long have they been alive, etc. Even that average won't be perfect. This seems to be a popular one though. There is also no way to estimate human population accurately past a few hundred years ago. There are several other ones that are off even though Magician knocked out a lot of them. The whale one is semen-not sperm. Different entities as sperm is part of 'healthy' semen output. Amazing how many guys I know that think it's all 'sperm'. I haven't studied those sorts of sciences since high school.

Don't think you understand the point he's trying to make. Of course there are more people being born everyday than dying-that just means our current**** population is the highest of all time. What he is claiming is that if you add up all humans that have ever lived and subtracted those that are alive today, that number is smaller than the number of people currently alive. No one knows for sure but eventually that may not be the case.

That's called living the dream.


Also, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles where they have no lakes, and the Jazz moved to Utah, where they don't allow music.

Yet one more thing they don't allow there. Might not want to let that get out.
