According to the U.S. Census Bureau, our population gets a net gain of one person every nine seconds. And that's just in the United States.
Hmm... considering that one of my profs claimed that without immigration we have zero growth rate, that's even more interesting. Assuming Dr. Garrett was right, of course.

I'd imagine they could construct some incredible long-range transporter, with like a fifty km wide dish at either end. Maybe. Could be shite. Can you daisy-chain transporters?

I've heard the same thing about the UK. Of course, it doesn't say where the one person is coming from. However...
Damn, I can't find my usual country statistics sites.
*looks*
Hmm. I've found figures ranging from 0.5% to 0.9%, however I have yet to find a web-site that I trust. Stupid computer that doesn't have my bookmarks. I used to have loads that compared world wide stuff, and other interesting facts that get your girlfriends. Yes. And the US Census site doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
