De-populating the World

I was wondering yesterday: if people were to stop reproducing today, how long it would be until there was nobody left on earth. I spent a long time thinking about it, and then realised the answer's really quite simple. Oh well, it kept my brain active for a little while at least. I can be a bear of little brain sometimes.

I went for a big run on Saturday - about 5.5 miles I think. The only problem is that a lot of it is downhill, so I arrive at home feeling like I could do another 5! I hope I manage OK on a long flat course! Three weeks yesterday until the big run! I picked up my pack yesterday, and need to get fundraising now.

My Canadian friend Ashley is back in London now. How exciting! She brought me a Gordon Lightfoot CD too. I am so happy!

  1. ...about 70 years? Is this a trick question? Am I missing something? Now I'm all paranoid.

  2. No Matthew - you're not missing anything. I was just not thinking that day... Silly me!

    It's sort of an odd thought though, isn't it?
