Last year I had thanksgiving with a friend I used to date. She is
exactly a year younger than me. At that thanksgiving dinner, out of 12
people, 4 of us were born on Sept. 6th.

In my life time, I have met several persons with my name, including one
who had my exact first, middle and last name.
But I have never met anyone who shared the same birthday.
I have somebody living next door with exactly the same name. I have
enough trobles with the taxman over that - God help me if our birthdays
were the same, too.
