What is your birthdate?

Not the year of birth, just the month and day.

Recently, I learned that Adriano Santi and I share the same birthday, April 12.

I'm curious to see how many of us share the same birthday; the
statistics show this to be highly probable.

Here's something from google:

April 9




David Hamuel


p.s.
just don't ask for SSN :-)


Dec 29. Sandwiched between Jesus' birthday and the New Year.


Jesus who? I have a buddy Jesus Gonzalez and his birthday is on February 19th.


i don't usually advertise my birthday (april 10), but its proximity to those of BJ, Adriano and Hawk is too much coincidence to let be... is there something noteworthy about one-third-of-the-way-through-April?


In another forum that I (and recently as I found out, bj) visit, there are 5 people sharing the april 12 birthday.

Better to ask what happened one-third-of-the-way through July :-)


March 28

Say, you wouldn't happen to know who could update the Typophile iCal calendar with the information gathered here, do you? (With the appropriate permission from those with birthdays, natch.)

http://www.icalx.com/html/typophile/day.php?cal=Typophile

It'd be sorta nice to share the month of March with typorati such as Mr Goudy (March 8th), Mr Bernhard (March 15th) and Ms Gladstone (March 19th).


Feb. 28, another Pisces.


One more Pisces, March 4.


Uh-oh. Maybe I've chosen the wrong line...let's see...OH December 29 = TOPOGRAPHER. Great.


Yves, my fellow Capricorn. Mine's January 10, apparently the same as Massimo Vignelli.


All I'll say is that I'm an aquarium...er, Aquarius.

heh


:totters off singing "this is the dawning of the age of aquarius...":


One day off! April, 11


June, 6th, mine would be..


10th March
Does seem quite weighted to this end of the year, of the thirty people in my year at college twelve had birthdays in Feb/March.


Jesus,

March 4th, you lucky guy.

Hope your life has been better than mine!

> OK, all birthdays listed above this message have been added.

Thanks Jared. I feel so scheduled now.


Same thing happens to me, Yves.
My birthday is January 20th.
BTW, nice link, BJ.


December 26. Boxing Day (Canada).


Hey, Hrant, I'm June 20! Germini as well! Year of the horse.


>>Steve, did you do something special with this year's birthday? 01|02|03 looks cool.

AAArrgghhh! Missed that one Yves - that would have been a good excuse for extra indulgence.

My son's birthdate is 29|2|92, which is quite groovy (and it means that next year he gets his third birthday in 12 years).


28 of June - Cancer - (dragon).


hey ricardo, me too: june 28th


hmm...you look a bit alike actually.


May19th
also the brithday of :
Malcolm X
Joey Ramone
Grace Jones
Andre the Giant (http://www.andrethegiant.com/)- very cool

not so cool:
Ho Chi Minh
Pete Townshed


March 30th, Human
The day Reagan was shot

Peter Bruhn, it's simply too cool to share your B-day with Andre the Giant AND Joey Ramone


12 sept.

same as barry white, wow :-(

---Jacques


Yves, 1969 is mostly the Rooster, but until January 21 (inclusive) it's still the Monkey.
You lucky like me.

hhp


Now I'm not one to complain, but theres a typo on the calender. The name's Earls, not Earl. :-)


I think I was conceived on the calendar's B-day. (31 Dec)

I think this means, you have to figure out when your parents..... I didnt know parents did. :-)

> 1969 is mostly the Rooster, but until

This says it was until Februray 16.
Don't know how reliable it is, though.
According to that site, I am Monkey too!
Not Earth, but Metal.

Usually I don't like this kind of stuff,
but the coincidences are interesting...


"I was conceived on April's Fool Day. "

Yuukkk, your parents told you what day you where concived? That's more than what I'd want my parents to tell me :-)


Yikes! It appears Keith Tam and I share a birthday. 20 June. I'm year of the Tiger though.


Hey Grant !! March 28 too


Matches so far:

Jes


I'm a Rooster as well, except 1981 instead of 1969 :-)


October 20, any libra around here?


October 15. This should add to the ciscocity. -Randy


February 26 -- I happen to share my birthdate with Giambattista Bodoni, and I share the month with Eric Gill. We're all pisces! hehe!


January 8th, exactly two weeks after Christmas and
one week after the New Year. Most of my friends
forget it as they're numb from too much partying.
But I don't really mind: everyone's birthdays is
a coincidence after all.


Chesh! So far away and yet so close. :-)


This may come as no surprise, but I own the Typophile iCalendar. I'll update it with these new dates. Thanks everyone! Keep 'em coming....

-editted, a few minutes later- OK, all birthdays listed above this message have been added.


Whoah. Can't believe that it is September already. I mean I remember Shelley's talk being scheduled, but it seemed so long ago. I'll be seeing her this weekend and discuss a re-schedule on this. Probably after St. Bride's in London.
