Apparently, it's Pi Day today, so happy Pi Day to all TM number crunchers.

Is it your birthday or something? Or just the beginning of the weekend?

A mate of mine had his birthday last Wednesday, he was born in 1945 so his birth date is easy to remember : 12/3/45. My youngest son's 30th Birthday was last year, he was born on July 20th 1977 so he celebrated his birthday on 20/07/2007. Now I have a headache.....

I am slightly older than your youngest son - by a difference of less than forty days.

I was due to be born on my grandfather's birthday, and my sister was due to be born on my grandmother's birthday (both grandparents on Dad's side). Neither of us were actually born on the day we were due, but we were each born almost exactly a fortnight after (within 24 hours thereof).

For example, my grandmother was born on Christmas Day on the year that WWI ended, and in recognition of this, her middle name was Peace. Add a fortnight gives you January 8, and my sister's actual birthday is exactly one day different from that.

Mr Einstein's birthday? Or it was just over an hour ago.

Another weirdo - my car tax expired last month and I replaced it with another 12 month one. The date on the old disc was 29 02 08, the date on the new one is 28 02 09.
