That means everyone has to agree with me in any arguments or debates I get into. Just letting you know. Birthday law, and all… ---

Congratulations on the coincidence of the earth’s position in orbit that corresponds with it’s position at the time of your birth. BTW: This is a great law. I’m going to use it often, since it’s my birthday everyday in some other universe. ---

> [@Indistinguishable](#): > > That means everyone has to agree with me in any arguments or debates I get into. Just letting you know. Birthday law, and all… Waaait a minute… The birthday law is everyone has to agree with me in any arguments or debate _during the whole week of my birthday!_ But, since it is your birthday _week_ I’ll let you have your way… Except, it’s my birthday week too. (What to do, what to do?) Happy Birthday ---

The OP is the guy who could provide a lengthy detailed explanation of how many Dopers would share the same birthday, this particular birthday, how many infinitely possible birthdays there are. And then miraculously summarize it in a way even I can sort of understand. ---
