According to the United Nations, there will be 6 billion people on Earth by October of this year (and many people think that the United Nations has undercounted, perhaps by as much as one fifth). This means that there would be 36 people per acre; rather, each person would get a bit less than 0.03 acres.

huh. okay, i'm angry at whoever told me that now.... i think it was my dad. i thought that was a wee bit far-fetched... but i believed my daddy. teches ME a lesson. anyway, still, maybe not texas, but with a few other states besides, we'd be fine. an acre per person. no overcrowding. whatever. i'll stop babbling now.
