Oct 17th 2006 - Well, Its not me. I was born on the 15th of February so I figure I must be in the 299 millionth group. Guess I was one in a million. The US census bureau estimates that with a baby being born every 8 seconds, someone dying every 12 seconds and the nation gaining an immigrant every 31 seconds on average, the population is growing by one person every 14 seconds. Today, October 17th 2006, the clock officially crossed the 300,000,000 mark at around 8:00 AM this morning.

Its taken the US about 40 years to go from 200 million to 300 million.
