300 Million Americans

Tomorrow morning at about quarter till eight the US will reach the 300 million mark for population. We reached 100 million in 1915, 200 million in 1967, and are expected to reach 400 million by the year 2043.

I'm not entirely sure how they can be sure we'll reach 300 million at 7:46 am October 17th, but that's what they're saying. Anyway, in case you didn't realize this, the United States is already the third most populous nation on Earth, and now we'll be only the third nation with over 300 million people (but I suppose that is self explanatory).
