I already know that I share this date with Simon and Shikarama.

I was born on December the 14th. From the looks of it, by scouring Senmetsu's birthday list and looking out for any threads celebrating people's birthdays at the time the previous time it seemed that nobody else whom at least are active enough to get on either of those things were born on the same day, but I remember in the day or two following and before it one or two people were born, simply as I saw threads about them. I think Autumn seems to be the most birth-filled part of the year, hinting that conceptions around the cold seasons of the year are more common than birth. I was born earlier than expected, though, so I wasn't purely a 9 month baby.

It seems in this thread that common birthdays seem to happen more often than I expected, though, and if I were born on the day that I was expected to be born on I would have shared my birthday with Luis, SaltshakerClock and WeHaveFreshCookies - I find it a coincidence that three users whom are so well known and respected were born on the same day (19th of January).

It is explained through statistics, but the idea is still referred to as "birthday paradox"

Still not sure why someone should refer to this as a paradox but anyways mine is the 31:st of March.

I don't know, I guess because it tends to come off as logic defying until you see the math behind it lol

You are almost birthday twins with one of my IRL best friends!

I'm in July, but hesitant to say when. So far nobody shares my birthday, though.

July 4th.

A lot of people I know are born between June 20th and July 10th. I guess it means that our parents like having fun during Fall.

Forgot to mention, January 13th also happens to be the birthday of TROGDOR! My most cherished birthday holder. The only other person I can think of is Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of the Flaming Lips.

Oh, and to that guy with my brothers birthday, you also share Sr. Phil's birthday :P

Well its not even illogical at all to be honest. What people usually think of is comparing people 1vs1 at a time, when really it should be everyone with everyone else at the same time, which makes the chances get really likely really quickly as more people are in the room.
