China Now 1.3 Billion People... Exactly

The Chinese population reached an astounding 1.3 billion citizens today after a baby boy was born in Beijing. Perhaps even more amazing, the Chinese government claims to know exactly how many people there are in the country at any given time. The boy's father says he is very happy, and that his child "will be blessed all his life." Surely he will stand apart from the other 1,299,999,999 people in China.

1.3 billion people for a country whose history and culture go back several thousand years before anyone has even heard of apple pie isn't really astounding ... and I'm not laughing.
