Halloween Facts: From Harvest to 7 Billion Heathens

Treat: The United Nations has decided that today is the day that the 7 billionth baby will be born.

Trick: They randomly picked the date, like kids picking candy out of a plastic Jack-o-Latern.

Trick:  No actual baby will get the title.

Treat: Everyone born tomorrow can claim to be the 7th Billionth person on earth.

Seems a fitting day for a harvest celebration that has been turned into a commercially successful holiday that pushes processed candies on children.  Not that I minded when I was a kid.  Unless it was milk duds…
