I Can't Believe I Forgot...

...that Justene is also a birthday girl this week.

Shame on me. After all the hard work she put in over the weekend on my behalf, too!

(Three of my favorite bloggers have virtually the same birthday. What are the odds?)

Speaking of odds, would think they'd be 1 in 365 x 365 x 365 but that woman in the paper Marilyn vos Savant, who's brilliant and all, swears that the odds of 2 people having the same birthday is 1 in 55.

Happy Birthday Justine, I guess that Astrology stuff is a bunch of huey eh!

I have twins born a minute apart and on every astrological chart I have ever consulted, there isn't a single difference in any one of their "planets". Yet they are very different.

It's my birthday tomorrow. I know tons of people with birthdays in late August and early September. I think it means people like to get in on during the holidays. : )

Not sure where the 1 in 55 figure comes from, but twins, triplets, etc. should skew things a tiny bit.
