India Will Exceed China's Population By 2030

India is currently at second for the world’s largest population with 1.21 billion people or 17% of the Earth’s population. When India was granted independence from the United Kingdom around 60 years ago, it's population was around 350 million.

Since that time however, it has nearly tripled. In a matter of decades, it will out-populate China. This high population rate is a result of increasing poverty and sub-standard health care. There is very little awareness and education about birth-control, even amongst the middle classes.

Meanwhile China's population is expected to drop while the US is never expected to reach the mark of 1 billion people. India has created some goals to reduce their population rates, but those goals will need to be carried out with well-planned, and effective strategies to curb a growth rate of 1.6%.

Will Smith signed agreed to star in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air because he owed the IRS $2.8 million!

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, may just be one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. The humor on the show often consisted of running gags - such as Will making fun of his slightly overweight Uncle Phil's size, Carlton dancing ridiculously on the show, and Will's friend Jazz being thrown out of the house for a range of different reasons. But, before the show became something we all known and love - it was a solution to a problem facing Will Smith.

In 1989, Will Smith was a successful rapper known as The Fresh Prince, although he grossly overspent his money and paid a small percent of income taxes. As it turns out, he was SUPPOSED to be paying a lot more income taxes - and ended up owing the IRS $2.8 million as a result. The agency seized almost all of his belongings, and hijacked his income.

Will was facing the dreaded fate of being bankrupt, when an NBC producer approached him and asked if he would star in a sitcom revolving around himself. 6 seasons and 148 episodes later, we have one of the best sitcoms of the 90's.

The oldest dog in history is still alive today and will turn 30 this year!

A terrier-cross in Louisiana called Max holds the record for being the world's oldest known living dog. Born in August 1983, Max has been a part of Janelle Derouen's family ever since.

Max has also enjoyed fine health into his older years. As of a few years ago, he only had mild arthritis and some cataracts. The owner says that he never spoiled the dog, and never even fed him any food from their table.

Using the rule of thumb for translating dog years into human years; in August, he will have lived for 210 human years. Here's to hoping he gets to live many more years.

Wanna look buff and muscular? Use hemorrhoid cream!

Do not use as directed, I guess. Bodybuilders have a special secret for looking extra buff when they need to: Hemorrhoid cream. The cream draws water from the skin, which in turn reduces puffiness and swelling. This makes it an ideal topical solution for thinning your skin, and making it cling more tightly to your muscles, making them look more defined.

You can use the cream for other things like: Reducing dark under eye circles, lessen your blemish welling, reducing wrinkles and even treating cold sores! Just remember that if you're using this cream anywhere near your mouth, make sure you don't accidentally ingest any of it.
