The chart says 106,456,367,669 people have been born. It doesn't say how many of those really lived. I don't think you've really lived until you've eaten fresh Iowa corn on the cob at a pig roast where the meat just melts in your mouth. That's really living. It's to die for.

World population has doubled since 1960. Wild animal life population has dropped by one third since 1960. Since I was born in 1961 I'm possibly the antichrist. And, because you're reading this, you have become under my power. Nice-uh.

You guys talking about Iowa reminds me of an indicator of how thin human populations were say, 12,000 years ago. That's the time of IceAge mammals and the Clovis spearpoints used to kill them. Clovis points are very rare because not many were made. Too few people around. Clovis are a North American point type widely dispersed by the first people to cross the Bering Land Bridge. And kill off the IceAge megafauna.

So these points are big bucks. Three grand even.
