I recall from high school statistics that in a randomly selected group of 25
to 30 people there is a better than 50% chance that at least two people will
have the same birthday [day and month].
On that basis, there should be several people on this list who are sharing
birthdays today with Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin.
We should take a poll .................. don't be shy out there !
