I got this from the Kim Komando newsletter and thought it was funny.  Somebody has too much time on their hands.  Back in 2008, LEGO said that it made 400 billion LEGO bricks, which equals out to 62 bricks for every person on the planet at the time.

Now, with the rising popularity of LEGO characters such as Harry Potter and Yoda, it's predicted that there will be at least 8 billion LEGO figures by 2019, which should be about equal to the population in the same year.
