Okay, the age poll on the cigars and related page inspired this idea. I had a statistics prof years ago that, to prove a point about probability, bet our class of 75 or so that several in the class would share a birthday with at least one other person. Sure enough, the first person to give out their b-day prompted another hand to go up.

Let's see how long it takes for one of us to find another forum member that shares the same birthday (not including year of birth)

Here's mine: 6/16

I've heard that probability advanced before, but to date in my life, have met only ONE person who shares my 8/17 b'day.

3/23 (Almost Gypsy, but no cigar...)

One of my neice's is 3/24, and get this, the girl that grew up next door to me was born 3/22 (same year, same hospital...)

I'm pretty close to SteveS with 8/15. My mom's is 8/17 but since she doesn't smoke cigars we don't have a match.

Play on.

My Dad and Delores, our neighbor, were both born 10/11/33 (Yo bassdude, her son was born 4/1)

A girl I had a crush on in HS had the same birthdate as me.

I also share 11/30 with Samuel Clemmens and (ugh) Billy Idol

If we get to count celebs, I know that DeNiro's b'day is the same as mine, but I've never met him ...
