Are my neighbors here?

Some people have a very strange understanding of Skypeland. In a cast with about 43 people from all over the world, one man entered and demanded to know how many people were from North Carolina. Well that makes a lot of sense.

Of course, everyone knows that North Carolina with its 8.9 million people is likely to have several people in a cast of 43 people. The 8.9 million people of North Carolina is about 0.00494 of the 1.8 billion English speakers on earth, so in a room of 43 people, one would expect about 0.2 people from North Carolina... But maybe not at 2 am in the morning...
