Alright, I know I told you I was busy, but I’ve just discovered something pretty amazing via Pharyngula and am compelled to post about it.
According to predictions, yesterday was the first day in human history that the urban population of the Earth outnumbered the rural.
I must say that’s a rather remarkable thought. I feel rather priveleged to have been around for such an occasion, assuming the projections were accurate. Go cities, that’s what I say. Looking forward to being back in London this weekend, however briefly.
Anyone care to predict when off-worlders will outnumber earth-dwellers? Right now, we outnumber them 6,000,000,000 to, erm, 3. (Though the number of people not on the Earth will more than treble in June, if Atlantis finally launches.)
