Birthday messages.

With Birthday messages being posted for our members all the time.

Did you know that if you have 30 or more people in a room together, at least 2 of them will have a Birthday on the same day, maybe not the same year though.
That is a mathematical fact. you can bet on it.

Try it out next time you have a party with 30 people or more.
29 will fail almost everytime.

A Magician friend of mine told me that, and I have used it often and never failed yet.
I used to overhaul all of his props years ago, so I know how most of his magic works.

It might sound like useless information, but it sure makes your guests think you are brilliant.


Mike.

Do you mean day and month, or just day? obviously if its just the day, then it is a fact if you had more than 31 people.....
