The other most common birthday is around Christmas, like the 27th of Dec due to people scheduling sections and induced labor and not wanting to have a kid on Christmas or New Year’s.
Except for February 29, Christmas is the least common birthday. Most Christmas babies are sudden emergency deliveries.
My daughter was born on Christmas

Between my wife's side and mine, we have over a dozen September birthdays in the family. More when we bring in friends.

Everytime my wife's dad went to visit her mom's family in Ohio for Christmas, they had a kid 9 months later.

The Canarsee Indian Tribe sold the Island of Manhatton in 1626 to the Dutch for $26. Had a Medicine Man/Financial advisor invested that at 7% interest, it would be worth 19 Trillian today. More than the entire net worth of the island. The Dutch overpaid!

There are 10 companies that started before 1000 AD, still in existence.

32ish miles b/t AL and LA. I won a free drink on that thanks to TD!

Dime played for Pantera, not RATM. What significance does your ticket stub have?

If you're flying to Sydney Australia and you take off from Dallas, the quickest route is over the Pacific. If you take off from Atlanta the quickest route is over Africa.

So where I'm sitting in Jackson, MS is about as far from Sydney as you can get anywhere in the world.

Apple seeds contain cyanide. The tiny black seeds found in the fruit contain a plant compound called amygdalin that turns into hydrogen cyanide if the seeds are chewed or digested.

If you made a solar system model with the Sun 1 cm in diameter, the only object you would be able to see without magnification would be Jupiter, and just barely at that. The most distant planet, Neptune, would be approximately 40 meters away from the Sun.

Space is big.
