Sunday, and the day before the Six Day War started. I may just be the Antichrist. ---

Monday. I hadn’t thought about this since I was a kid so I had to check. My face is fair to middlin’ at best. ---

No idea, and answered before I read your OP. And seeing that you found a link to tell me, I don’t care enough to find out, though I don’t mean in any way to disparage your fine poll. ---

My littlest sister and I were both born on Sunday, and my parents named us Bonnie and Blythe. True story. Weird that Monday is so unpopular! ---

Mine’s easy to remember, as I was born on Turkey Day. Thursday’s child having far to go is pretty much spot on for me, hehe. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > Well, it says Thursday, but I was born in Scotland; what time zone does this calculator assume? I think I was born in the wee hours of the morning. Can someone adjust for Scottish Mean Time? The time zone is irrelevant. It’s not like, say, 15 March 1992 was a Monday in New York but a Sunday in Scotland. The dates tick over at different times around the world, but they are associated with the same days of the week. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Is your mom the numerologist under the impression that the clocks change over at a time OTHER than 2:00 a.m. (bringing you to 3:00 a.m. in the spring and back to 1:00 a.m in the fall)? 12:31 a.m. doesn’t enter into it. I believe the idea is that 12:31 am on a Tuesday (say) during daylight saving time would have been 11:31 pm on a Monday if the time change had not occurred. My father was born in similar circumstances and this is why, to this very day, he celebrates two birthdays. ---

I’ve previously mentioned this coincidence: In years when my birthday falls on, for example, Sunday, so do the birthdays of both of my children, my wife, my father, both my grandfathers, and my paternal gt-grandmother. (On leap years this breaks down for two of these people, who were born in February.) Since birth_years_ vary, that doesn’t imply all eight people just mentioned were born on the same day of the week, but in fact my daughter, wife and I are all “Full of Woe.” ---

Sunday. And not just any Sunday but Easter Sunday. I was delivered by a bunny rather than a stork.
