    No Optiboard Member Birthday today

    Anyone else notice that for most months, there are only 2 to 4 days that don't have a birthday listing?? Wonder how long it will be 'til we can celebrate an Optiboard member's birthday everyday of the year?
    Ok: test: which day of the year, as of today, has the most birthdays listed? :D

    Jenny,
    I counted and it was a tie:

    May 24th and 29th both have 9!

    Right, Cindy, it was a trick question!
    May 24th and June 29th have 9 listings.

    As of tonight, February (yes, I know it is the shortest month!!) is the only month that has a listing for every day.

    Next question:
    (as of tonight) which month has the longest stretch of days that have no birthdays listed? *


    Wonder why someone wouldn't want their bday listed in our register?
    I can understand someone not wanting to admit their age (or lack of it ) but it would be fun to see the calender totally full for birthdays! With the # of members listed for Optiboard, we should have an average of about 7 members listed for every day of the year.

    * Quick Hint: Many of us get/give presents on another's birthday that month.

    If anyone is crushed by the lack of celebration I am willing to be a recipient of gifts, I'll even wear a party hat and send thank you cards for gifts of $100.00 or more.
    Also I don't believe in sarcasm.

    Well if you think about it, birthdays shouldn't be spred out evenly though, I mean more babies tend to get born 9 months (roughly) after a winter month right? at least that would make sense to me....

    Bart, if I understand you right, more babies are born in August- October months than in the rest of the year.

    You know, it would actually be an interesting "study" to pull the birth data together and see if there really is a time where more births happen. hehe.
