Of having someone you know born on the same day as you? I share my birthday with my sister Astronomical girl...


No WONDER I saw both of you under "today's birthdays" and I went ?!?!?!

That's crazy cool.

What are the odds? 1 against 365 (roughly) :D

Let's say you have met 365 persons, there is a fair chance that one of them has the same birthday as you, which means in your lifetime you have a high probability to meet someone who has the same birthday as you ;) It goes through the roof with the Internet of course, considering you can meet a lot more people there :D
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

I know that but having a sibling born on the same as you that is not a twin seems pretty out there (also you can of other "what are the odds" like what are the odds of their being another genius)

Me and my older sister don't share a b-day but we do have unusual b-days. My sister was born on a Friday the 13th and i was born a few weeks early on December 26th 1997. :lol: My sister scares me :eek:

You think that's something?

I know someone who was born on the same day, same month, same YEAR. Can't beat that.
