You know the statistic thing: get 30 people in a room and there's a 50:50 chance that two will have the same birthday. (Well it's something like that). THere's gotta be loads o peeps on this board with the same birthday, and as mine is many months off, my conscience is clear on the "only bringing it up to remind people it's coming up" front.

(This thread brought to you by Mr C's birthday, and by the friendstest malarkey)

So come on then, let's get some matched up, what's yourn...

23rd August

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

April 5th

The two of my collegues sitting opposite me were both born on March 29th.

― Anna, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

October 17th

― MarkH, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want someone to prove that stat to me. It's something like 27 people, but I think I once tried to work it out (binomial theorem roxor) and failed.

― Sam, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, and 2nd of Nov.

― Sam, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's 364/365 x 363/365 x 362/365 x ... 334/365 = chance that 30 people DON'T have a match.

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Someone I used to work with had the same birthday as me - 17 May - which struck him as the biggest coincidence EVAH, for some reason.

― Emma, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(oops, that's 32 people in my calc above)

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sam, you have the same birthday as my Mum. Mine is on September 15th.

― Jonnie, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

weeelll, so far Alan has the same birthday as my brother, Marcello has the same birthday as my friend Helen and Emma has the same birthday as my father. mine is 28th April...

― katie, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

August 12.

― Nicole, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

K-ching! Nicole and Dr Groove. (admittedly an irregular poster)

― Tom, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, and I'm March 23.

― Tom, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nickie and I share a birthday, January the 8th.

― chris, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

21st of June = ME!

― Sarah, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

21 June = my lovely auntie Joyce.

― Emma, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

25th of March. Start saving.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am getting married on Sarah's b-day, so that's sort of a coincidence? Though kind of a stretch.

― Nicole, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My cousin's first wedding was on 21 June too Nicole, is that any good as a coincidence?

― Emma, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My brothers birthday is the 21st of June and he's getting married this year too!!

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why not?

― Nicole, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

February 2nd.

― David Raposa, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well that's only 13 dates so far. the odds get quickly better past 20.

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

12th October

― DG, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

April 20th.

― Hank, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

February 2nd

That was my old dog's birthday.

Mine is May 1st.

― N., Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

March 2, whee.

June 21 = Nicole's wedding? Hm...what if ILx crashed the reception? ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bingo, me and Hank. And Hank is cool and rock'n'roll = another bullethole in the side of astrology, I feel.

― Rebecca, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

January 1

― youn, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

February 13th. And I'm going to NEW YOIK!

― emil.y, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wait, Emily -- New York on the 13th? I'll be there for the weekend from the 15th through the 18th, and there are meet-up plans being hashed out, sort of.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hip hip hooray for me, my magical birthing day is APRIL 14th!!!

― jel, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thanks Rebecca. That's random, I've only met one other person with the same birthday. So do you consider yourself an Aries, Taurus or a bit of both?

― Hank, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think Samantha would probably say I'm more of a Taurus(Bull). I would probably have to agree. And, yes, I am SOOOOO Rock and Roll.

― hank, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

June 16th

― Arthur, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, definitely bullish though the Aries influence makes this more tolerable. Sometimes a bit *too* rock-n-roll. ahem. Dec. 11, btw.

― Samantha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Exact mid-point between Hank's and katie's

― Jeff W, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned, well we're only going for a weekend, and we'll be in Noo Haven a lot of the time, seeing our lurverly friends The Butterflies of Lurve (Pete, the bassist, was born on the 12th, the same day as my mum).

― emil.y, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mine is Jan.19

― Gale Deslongchamps, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

N'Haven! Hey, Emily, where's / when's that goin' down? (Don't say Rudy's; if it's New Haven, it'll be Rudy's, I know; god damn Rudy's.)

I share a birthday with a dog and a day set aside for WOODCHUCKS. Wahoo.

― David Raposa, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It is Rudy's! But shhh, they don't know we're coming. Although I guess if they googled their name it'd show up and ruin everything. Although I did spell it 'Lurve' so that's okay. Ha.

What's the place like, anyway? It's my first time over (I'll be 21, so I can drink over there for the first time).

― emil.y, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The first 3 numbers are 23, 5, and 17! This is amazing!

My birthday is July 31, also the birthday of HARRY POTTER. (I had it first.)

― Maria, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's a small little place, just off the Yale campus (down the street from their co-op). By small, I mean maybe 20 people can fit in there (which, unfortunately, might be the high-end number for folks coming out to see the Butterflies; hopefully, I'm underestimating their appeal). I was there once for a Sportique / Comet Gain / Butterflies show; I couldn't stay there more than 5 minutes, it was so damn packed.

Depending on when it is, I might be strong enough to brave the confines of this club. (Please also note that I'm a hopeless pessimist, and have a fetish for open space.)

― David Raposa, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

emil.y is not yet 21? I assumed you were older than me. I feel old. Again. Wah. I spent most of my 21st birthday in bed ill, so maybe I can say it didn't happen and I'm still 20. (Erm.)

I always thought of myself as Aries, but everyone I've met who believes in astrology has said, "Oh, you're much more like a Taurus," so now I read both on the rare occasions I look at them.

― Rebecca, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Me and my friend Raven have the same birthday down to the year.

― Sean, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

March 17.

I've never met anyone in my entire life who (beknownst to me anyway) has the same birthday. Now *that* is probably against the odds innit?

― Kim, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tracer Hand = 7 June = mark s

We remove bullets from astrology in every possible way. We are the Dan and Ned of gemini

― mark s, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A noble role, yes. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tadeusz Suchodolski and I have the same birthday. Emma and kimera have the same birthday.

― Honda, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

22 August. nearly a match with alan.

― di, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

December 6

― Brian MacDonald, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

May 26, which always causes people to exclaim "A GEMINI eh, that explains so MUCH." Should I be worried?

― Pyth, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

August 7th. Same as Abebe Bilika, Alexei Sayle, Mata Hari and (I think) Mark C's lovely girlfriend Vicky.

― Michael Jones, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mark you know who else is 7 June? PRINCE. (who at this moment has "Big Book of Go Problems" open on one knee as water boils)

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

July 15. And I know someone with the same date.

― nickn, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― nancy b., Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)
