You're special, you're unique, you're one in a million!  Right?

    Today being one in a million means that there are 6,188 others just like you in the world*.  Roughly 310 of them live in North America, 32 in Canada and 7 in Ontario alone.  The good news is that, statistically speaking, there is likely no other person just like you in Newmarket or East Guilliambury.

    The next time someone says you are one in a million, exactly what do they mean?

*The World's population now exceeds 6,188,000,000 people.
