     @tyler @Terry @Artin Easy, just only have segs on ~October 4 and the odds greatly improve. It's not totally random.

     @tyler @Terry Births are 17% below average on the 4th of July in the US apparently. 4th lowest day of the year behind Christmas, New Year's Day, and Christmas Eve. So 0.0000012% (1 in 84 million) taking that into account.

     Assuming an even distribution of births (there's not), we can use a simple compound probability calculation:
     0.000002% is the probability of 3 random people all sharing the same birthday.

     @Zerglingman @Terry @tyler @Artin Also means my first few cell divisions likely took place in a harsh high alcohol environment. Explains a few things. :cirno_laugh:
