How Many Are There of You???

I found an interesting web-site yesterday It's called How Many of Me. What it does is use statistical and demographic data from the US Census Bureau.

I did some "research" at the site and found some interesting information. There are 5 of me in the US. I have either 14 or 8 wives, depending upon which name you use; the long or the short respectively. No here is the killer; I have 33 children if you search my son's name and my daughter's name. Wow!

More fun info: There is only 1 Hillary Clinton. Thank goodness for small favors. I searched for Barack Obama. Apparently there isn't one. Well then, who's that guy that seems to be the darling of the media and is planning the decor for the White House? And how about John McCain you ask. There are 449. If you don't like the one running for president you've got 448 others to pick from. There might be a good one in there somewhere.Give it a try. I'll bet you have fun with it just like I did. Oh, while I'm thinking about it, there are some pretty cool tools at the Census Bureau site; such as, Frequently Occurring Surnames, full information from the last census, and information about the next census. Go there sometime and give it a look see.
