I don’t think I could afford meeting space for a club made of '69ers… July 26, 1969. Smack dab between the first moon landing and Woodstock. (Or, for you morbid sorts, Chappaquiddock - sp? - and the Manson murders.) Famous folks who share my birthday include Mick Jagger, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey, and George Bernard Shaw. ---

When he was 50, I was 25 and when I’m 50, he’ll be 100. So he’s, like, my “double-twin” or something. July 29, 1979 here. If he’s 25 years older than you, how will he be 100 when you’re 50? Adam ---

The League of Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen Born in 1942 has at least three members, now, all in October or November. I’m from November 10, 1942, when the rooskies were busy pushing the Germans out of Stalingrad. I have only met one other November tenther ever, and she was born ten years to the day after I was. ---

> [@Harimad-sol](#): > > I’m seventeen days older than you. > > Take it from me, my mom couldn’t wait any longer. 😃 Well, that makes you precisely four years older than my brother then. At the time, I didn’t understand why my mom didn’t seem terribly enthusiastic at the idea of the baby coming late so we could have the same birthday. Now I’m just impressed she didn’t strangle me for suggesting it. ---

The **BEST** typo I’ve seen on here in some time. Okey-dokey. **October 6** , so far the role call includes **Manatee** and **Tastes of Chocolate** (1966 and the only _actual_ twins I’ve seen so far other than the OP) and Eureka (1974) and me (1962). i bet we’re all reallllllllllly pretty. ---
