Your birthday is 12/21? A good friend of mine has that same birthday. How do you feel about it being the shortest day of the year?Talking of birthday coincidences, SQL Server MVP Rob Farley's birthday is 07/11 and mine is 11/07 (both DD/MM). His son's birthday is also 11/07.
Wow, that really is a coincidence that your birthdays are different! :-P:hehe:
I think what he's trying to say, what with all the 7s and 11s in those birthdays, is that becoming a SQL Server MVP is a craps shoot.

and my birthday is 07/12 (also DD/MM). I'm scared to ask what year Rob was born in...
Replied privately. One thing I forgot by the way: the other weird thing about 07/11 and 11/07 is that they are always on the same day (name) as each other, every year.

Did anybody have the guts to heckle her? I dont thinks anybody will but just asking. I wonder at the precon who will be scarier, Gail or Grant in a Kilt? 😉 (I think both of them will be intimidating) 😀
No kilt during the pre-con. Only on Day 2 of the summit. And I'm saving my heckling until I'm sitting next to her on the stage.

OK, who had 9/7/2011 in the end of the world pool?Hmm. Where's the incentive to win?
You get a billboard posted by a highway in the US, and don't have to take it down for months (e.g. the end of the world that happened in may).
Are there billboards for that still up?
Oh, that's right. Didn't they say "Wait, May? We meant October!" I'm surprised they still have cash to pay for them.
Yeah - we see some of those billboards around my area. This is the second time they have been wrong in the past couple of years.
The ultimate answer "it depends" applies here, too. If they didn't add the year to it, they still have one more chance before the "real" (or next?) end of the world (Dec 21st 2012)
Oh, they were very specific. Exact date and what would happen. Then somehow when it didn't happen, they said they got the date wrong. That's what they'll do in October when it doesn't happen again. Or maybe they'll just walk away like they did back in the 90s when the same guy failed in predictions then.
And, of course, 12/21/2012 is only the prediction of New Agers and others who completely misinterpreted what the Mayan's Calendar means.
Bahahaha - sweet birthday present. I think I will back that date.
Your birthday is 12/21? A good friend of mine has that same birthday. How do you feel about it being the shortest day of the year?
I like it. I have an aunt with the same birthday.

Indeed. This just gets weirder; so I'm talking to you all about birthdays and I get an email about a problem with some data due to a security being renamed on a stock exchange on a certain date this year. Anyone want to guess which day it was? I'm going to bed.

That is pretty slick. My parents have the same sort of DD/MM reversal with their birthdates
