Default BBC population quiz: What number are you.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15391515

I am person number 4,420,164,425. Life expectancy 79.5 (on the NHS?)

What's next? The global population will continue to increase during your lifetime and beyond, reaching 10 billion by 2083. However, the rate of growth is expected to slow. Little of the current growth is happening in developed countries like yours.
Longer lives: Working-age people like you will be supporting increasing numbers of older people during the next decades. By 2050, there will be just 2.2 people of working age supporting every person aged 65 or older in the developed world. In Europe, this will drop to just two.
Battle for resources: It is estimated that your group of the richest countries consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us. (uh oh)
Did you know? The average family size globally has declined by half since 1950 - from five children in to the current 2.5.

Interesting and scary at the same time.

I wanted to do a test where i put 315bc as my birth year, but it wont accept a birth date prior to 01/01/1910
I guess I was hoping for a Life expectancy of: "You think you're funny dont you?"

24/12/0: You are 2010 years old (minus three days)

yeah, the life expectancy stays the same, no matter whart date you put in.
And Togoland is no accepted place of birth, even if you're born in 1910.

I'm 4,759,443,251st when born and 79,527,559,393rd alive since the beginning.

As for my life expectancy, I think it's gonna be a pretty big difference whether I'm counted as Russian or Canadian. It's either 78.5 or 61.4 years.

I really should stay in Canada then
