The birthday paradox states that in a gathering of 20 or more people, there is a greater chance of 2 of the having the same birthday. (Each person individually only has a .027% chance of meeting another individual with the same birthday. But, in a room with 19 other people and their chances increase to almost 5%. And the other 19 people also have a 5% chance, which together increases the likelyhood likelihood probability that two will have the same birthday.)
Anyway, the blogosphere is no different.
Happy, Happy Birthday wishes to Jim & Serenity!!
Thanks (again) Clancy!
