The Dad must be only allowed to get his hole on his every second birthday.

My sister and brother share the same birthday and there 7 years apart!

almostnever · 07-01-2011 01:54PM

Meh. My brother and I were born on the same day four years apart. Big hoot.

My sister and I have the same birthday, but she's 13 years older than me.

I don't think it's very rare tbh

Oh wait:

Lecturer in midwifery at University College Cork, Rhona O'Connell, said there was no medical explanation why a woman would give birth to her children on the same date.

"It's a chance occurrence unless the mother had been induced but other than that there's no maternity reason why that would occur," Ms O'Connell said

Did you really need to get a lecturer in modwifery to tell you that, Indo? Really? :rolleyes:

My old man's birthday is the day after mine....which is quite disturbing if you think about it.

It must be a slow news day.

SeaFields · 07-01-2011 02:14PM

I'm from a fairly small family. I share my birthday with my grandmother and two relatives have also died on this date.

Why is it disturbing?? Because he concieved you 3 months after his birthday??

Because you happened to be born on the same day as his birthday...

He was getting pussy before he was dropped. Impressive

There's a girl I used to work with that had two sets of twins in one family and another sister who shared the same birthday as one set of the twins, but a year apart.

If you consider the Birthday Problem, in probability, for example in a room of 23 people the probability that 2 of them share the same birthday is 50%, then, in a population of 4 million, the probability of 3 siblings sharing the same birthday may not be all that high.

Indeed

When I tell people about the Birthday Problem, some simply won't believe me, even if I link them to the calculations. Apparently, self observations > hard maths.

We tend to underestimate the likelihood of seemingly unlikely events occurring in a massive world of infinite possibilities.

parents obviously timing kids around Christmas.

'what do you mean you want birthday presents too, sure Christmas was only last week? ye can't be having them all the time'

There's a reason alright, it's called birthday ride syndrome. Midwives these days!

My missus has a brother and sister, born same day 3 years apart, coincedentaly 9 months after parents wedding anniversary:D

My brother and I share the same birthday, 15 minutes apart.

I think there's a name for people like us.....

pickarooney · 07-01-2011 03:09PM

I know a guy who has twins and another girl all with the same birthday.

Kasabian · 07-01-2011 03:11PM

All my siblings, all nine of them were born on the same day of each month beginning with January 2nd etc.

In a caravan without midwife or nurse.

I was however invented.

My mam has three brothers. One born on the 23rd of July, one on the 24th of July and one on the 25th of July - a year between each of them.

Rather than try the maths I wrote a program to generate 57 random numbers beween 1 and 365 and on two successive iterations it came up with 0 duplicates. What are the odds of beating 99% odds against twice in a row?
