A recently locked troll thread started with the OPs premise that a world war would be a good thing. One of his lame ass reasons was that the earth is overpopulated and could stand a cleansing (I'm paraphrasing).
Got me thinkin' and ciperin'. World populaton of 7.108 billion. If everyone stood in a group on 4 square feet each (2'x2'), that would require 1020 square miles of area +/-. Correct, or did I divide by zero? (I'm 99.999% sure this is correct.) TIA! |

and they all would fit in Rhode Island (1212 sq mi)...with room to spare.
Earth over-populated? Not by a long shot. All the stupid ones are just concentrated into large cities. I did this same calculation using 3sq ft (there are some lard asses out there) to make the same point.... |
