Why? It will be far more meaningful to him if he discovers it himself,
a few years down the road.

Time will give him that perspective. What I want to know (and I think
would be cool to know, just for ****s and giggles) is:

- How many pilots have ever been certificated

- How many billions of humans have *ever* lived.

Since man has longed to fly since time immemorial, and only a
miniscule percentage of humans have ever achieved it, I think this
would be a very cool statistic to know. Your mileage may vary.

Sadly, I haven't found a very good way to measure either number.
