> [@yellowval](#): > > So, how about it: September 23, 1977 anyone? My husband’s not a Doper, but his is the day before yours. I share my exact birthday with Jaleel White, the guy who played Steve Urkel. Um, yay. Yes, **AmericanMaid** , I accept your offer to be nominal twins. Hey, I used to know some actual twins who had different birthdays because the first one was born shortly before midnight and the second one was born a little after. ---

And yet he gets to star in a hit television series and you get locked up wearing an iron mask. Life’s just not fair sometimes. ---

My special day was **May 12th, 1969**. I share a birthday with Steve Winwood and Burt Bacharach among others. And I recall reading that on the very day I was born, the Supreme Court handed down a verdict that overturned Timothy Leary’s felony arrest for possession of marijuana. Possession of marijuana was reduced in general from a felony offense to a misdemeanor due to that decision. 🙂 ---

Oooh…Oohh… Tinkleberry was born Nov 27, 2004. That makes him your time-suspended twin, right? Anybody got Dec 4, 1976? That’s me! ---

So, does anyone know of any secret fertility drug tests that were done in Jan, Feb, March of 1966? Oct 6, 1966 - **Manatee** and I Nov 16 - **calm kiwi** Nov 18 - **Beware of Doug** Nov 27 - **featherlou** and **Shirley Ujest** Dec 1 - **Sampiro** Dec 4 - **Mycroft Holmes** **NurseCarmen** and **Sunfish** are close on either side. ---

Okay, not as old as some of you other bastards, but old nonetheless. 😛 Cry me a river–I’ve got 8 years on ya… No July 12? Good thing I was born on my twin sisters Bday, 4 years later, then. Can’t remember the famous people that share that date–but it IS William of Orange Day (and I’m Irish Protestant!–well, ancestry and all, anyway). ---
