Something about March 11 -

Something about March 11 - Among the many kind comments added to yesterday's note about my birthday were two from people who also had birthdays yesterday (and Happy Birthday a day late to both of you!). Among all of the random set of readers who came to this site yesterday (and there were nearly 450, not counting me), to have three people with the same birthday is kind of odd.

Which got me to thinking.

I went to a tiny little college - a total of 500 students at the time (over 1,000 now). You'd think that among 500 people, a standard random distribution of birthdays would put one, or maybe two, on the same day.

There were four December 11 birthdays among the 500 of us.

So I think we can safely assume that March 11 has the worst weather of any day of the year.
