Too Creepy
Both the late JFK Jr. and the Bush twins were born on Nov. 25.. 21 years apart.

2. That isn't creepy.
What's creepy is that the Dalai Lama and bush share the same birth date, July 6, in 1935 for the world's most peaceful man, and 1946 for the world's most dangerous man.

of the universe balancing things out? :shrug:

11. That may be true.
Like matter and anti-matter at opposite ends of a neutral fulcrum. Or maybe the Universe is trying to tap Dimson on the shoulder and say, "Hey, nitwit, we're trying to give you a clue here as to what you could aspire to."

4. Yeah, my sainted grandfather shared April 20th with Hitler.
My grandfather was as wonderful as Hitler was evil.

7. For statistic geeks....
The birthday paradox states that if there are 23 people in a room then there is a chance of more than 50% that at least two of them will have the same birthday.

12. I wonder what the odds are for family and friends
sharing the same birthday. I have the same birthday as my son, my nephew, my g-grandfather, and my college roommate. Strange, eh?

17. I was born on my pat. grandma's b-day, my sister on our mat. grandma's.
Curious, no? Strangely I never meet anyone with my birthday. Well, except the woman whose truck I hit in 2003, and a person I registered to vote last year.

13. Fascinating.
What I have always found curious, however, is that so many people seem to be born on a grandparent's birthday. Maybe I've just paid more attention to it because it's happened in my family twice.

In my family of six, three were born on the 16th, although different months. I think it's rather weird. I wonder what the odds are of that.

8. Don't worry -
So was Harry Stein, who started out as a really terrific writer and ended up as a rightwingnut buddy of Bernard Goldberg. I'm his son's godmother. His father, Joe Stein, who's as leftie as they come, wrote the book for "Fiddler On The Roof."

Wait.

Maybe there IS a curse on that day.

Those Bush "twins" were conceived in vitro, did you know that?

10. Did they? I did not not know
and wonder how it is a public knowledge. Oh, forgot, Bush does not value privacy.

18. Consider what you don't know
about any of them. Like, whatever happened to Neil, after his filthy divorce, Thai hookers, payoffs, scandalous remarriage and let's not forget his big role in the old S&L disaster.

They keep it close, don't they? The "twins" were conceived in vitro, and, presumably, the other fertilized eggs were destroyed. So, where does that leave Fuckface on stem cell research.

Yeah, every life is precious.
