How common is your birthday?

Naively, I guess I assumed that all birthdays were kind of randomly distributed. Apparently, this is far from true .

Probably yet another thing that will be affected by global warning...

  1. Common isn't necessarily a bad thing, Peter.

    I'm thinking of writing a book about the chart. I'll call it Fifty Shades of Beige.

  2. I think of Fifty Shades of Gray at the punch line of the exchange that begins at 7:00.

  3. I'll remember it when I get to that part. I need to get back and watch that series.

    So little time, so much entertainment.

  4. At least one of the seasons is available on I-tunes. I could buy that. But I think I'll also look for whatever I can get on DVD when I head off to England for CrimeFest next week!

  5. Make sure the DVD is U.S. compatible. As for Crimefest, I'm predicting this much--beige it will not be!

  6. I know about compatability issues. I'd look into tinkering with my computer so it would play discs from the North American region.

    I expect it will be fun. P.D. James is a guest of honor, and I'll raise a glass with Declan Burke and maybe Brian McGilloway if he doesn't write another novel or have another child during the festival.

  7. Death Comes to Pemberly turned out to be a bit of a mess, but she deserves the toast all the same.

  8. I've already hoisted one with my favorite crime writer named James, and one more for the list would be fun.

  9. Well, Peter James will be there, too, so I could do both.
