Spiffy, 3 people on the same day 🙂. Don't know why I'm surprised though considering how many people come here 😛.

If you like your maths:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BirthdayProblem.html
Basically, if you have more than 23 people in a room the chances are in your favour, contrary to intuition, that two share a birthday. The probability increases to 99% if you have 60 or more people.
Am I boring you yet? I am boring myself.
I am going to get a drink.

Originally posted by kattyNo problem Katty. I actually don't think I cursed at him but I will respect your wishes, after all it's your birthday right 🙂 My wife's is on the 21st. I guess I, like probably many do here, just get weary of his kind. I know I should act like an adult and ignore as well but part of me thinks they should not be tolerated.
Happy Birthday to u aswell Zahlanzi!

That's an old probability problem, called 'the birthday problem'.
