2. I'm going to guess

Edited on Sun Mar-27-05 04:18 PM by cliss

1,000 people are born each minute. Which is too much. Currently, the world population is at 6 1/2 billion (too much).

And that's a huge figure. There are 60 minutes to an hour. 24 hours in a day. That makes the total

1,000 X 60 = 60,000
60,000 X 24 = 1,440,000 per day.
