I share my birthday (no, not the year OF COURSE!) with the U.S. president who served the shortest term in office of them all (just one month -- he fell ill and died).

This is true, even taking leap years into account. FewMiles..</font> There are 12 months in a year. So the odds of more than 1 person having a birthday in a month start to increase. It's easier to find 2 people having this month in common rather than 2 out of 365. So now that the month is narrowed down, the odds increase to 1 in 30 (assuming a 30 days month), that someone will share your BD. So 1 in 30 has much better odds of a match than 1 in 365. I tried this at a trade show a few years ago to prove a point to someone who shared my birthday (thanks for the correction MissyDarlin). I told this person that if we ask the next 30 people, we'll find another March 8 baby. Well, low and behold, the <first> person I asked... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif Dan |

I guess I'll be one of the first ones for Nov 7. It surprises me how many have signed up and not that many duplicates.
Wish I could be in London during the 8 Nov DO but have to work at my kids school that weekend. Have fun all. |
Pour moi it's 26 October.
Voila. Ah! I forgot to mention that Pres. François Mitterrand was born on that same day also! [This message has been edited by CDG1 (edited 10-01-2003).] |
My birthday is February 11.

When do you normally celebrate your birthday?</font> http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Yes very serious. I actually celebrate it on Feb 28th on the off years and on the 29th when I actually have a birthday. Growing up my parents insisted that I was born in Feb and I was going to Celebrate it in Feb ....not March. I really did not care as my friends celebrated it with me on March 1. The only time I was scared was when I turned 21 and I wanted to drink on the 28th. |
Well now I know that i am an original!!
