I was trying to reference what happened 9 months before the birthdays, ie., in September/October!!! Get it?
Gestation period for human babies??????
Wow, and some of you had more fun with that than others!!! Whew hoo!
| I was JUST discussing this w/ my bf! We recently went to a party where there were about ten 6-month old babies. I was scratching my head wondering if these couples planned to be pregnant around the same time.
Then my boyfriend said it's a fact that many people have the same birthdays than not due to "special ocassions," like their parents might have "gotten busy" on Valentine's Day, a customary day to be romantic, resulting in tons of births nine months later, in October.
You'd think you would have a 1-in-365 chance of having the same birthday as someone, but the chances are more like 1-in-65 (I forget the real number he told me) due to circumstances like the one I mentioned above. |
