    Default Birthdays

    Currently there seem to be rather a lot of Birthdays. Now, doing the sums etc, it tells me the time of the year when TV was probably at its worst. Anyone else come up with reasons for this 'population explosion'?

    Depends on the year, are all the birthdayers around the same age?
    Maybe the footy team had a by. Just a thought.

    I'd say it was a very 'sociable' month for starters.

    Kingetter, I do not want to seem pedantic, but August = 8th month, so therefore 9 months back would be December, but if my maths are wrong, it was only a joke, who cares

    OK - 'nuff said, though we do seem to have a lot of birthdays all together.
    Amen.

    Well, by my calculations, today's birthday folk were conceived at the very end of November, provided they were born on their due dates. We talk about a human pregnancy as lasting 9 months, but it's actually 40 weeks from the first day of the woman's last period, 38 weeks from the date of conception.
    I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!
