Jo,

Your post and URL Although the worst is to come - isn't these some population growth statistic that says that there are now more people alive today ... oh no, just looked it up, another urban legend! http://www.snopes.com/errata/dead.htm
rather amused me. Well-researched, indeed. It was very illuminating.

The question came up on a quiz programme I was watching on TV quite recently (I think it was "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", British version). The "correct" answer was that there were more people alive today that had ever died.

Oops!
