Question What day of the week were you born?

From a statistical view, oughtn't we expect an even distribution?

From a sociological view, oughtn't we chuckle at this very old rhyme?

Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is loving and giving.
Thursday's child works hard for a living,
Friday's child is full of woe.
Saturday's child has far to go.
But the child that is born on Sabbath-day
Is bonny and happy and wise and gay.

Here's a calculator to determine the day of the week you were born (in case you don't know off hand), as well as a description of how to determine the day of the week for any year without a calendar.
What is the day of the week?

Re: What day of the week were you born?

Born on a Monday, but my mother went into labour the Friday before, already. She hates me for it till this day, completely screwing up her weekend.

But besides that, I suppose another interesting thing would be to check which months are the most famous for births. Most people I know have their birthdays somewhere between October and February, with a *very* small scattering throughout the year. I have no idea why this should be so, maybe the high summer to cool fall days ending with the Easter weekend (southern hemisphere) is more conducive to luvin'.

Would be interesting to see the results!

I was also born on a Monday. At 12:48, to be exact. That might be the reason why this is the time of day I only really start waking up! I was born three days before my mother's 21st birthday, so she never got to have a big birthday party. Mea culpa.

I was born; Wednesday August 15th, 1951 at 11:49pm est
If I would have happened outside of the Hospital It would of been 08-16-1951, a Thursday.

At the time...Hospitals stayed on est.......Like the RR'ds....

I would of missed out on Mary's Holyday!

Sunday, around 6 in the morning (GMT+1), which means it was still Saturday in the US.

Re: What day of the week were you born?

Heh, I was born somewhere around midnight too.

I know mum told everyone I gave her a hard time from the get go - as she was in labour for 26 hours apparently ...but that's another story.

Interestingly, so far every poster that's quoted a time, has quoted that time as being between 11pm and 1am.

Maybe we try to really do try and annoy our parents at a reeeeeally young age

Re: What day of the week were you born?

In 7th grade our teacher showed us a formula to check what day of the week we were born on, it said Tuesday, that was a few years ago, though.
I voted Tuesday, but then saw the link and figured I may as well do it too, but it said Wednesday, so I went to an online calendar, and I was born on Wednesday, please amend the vote.

I was born on a Saturday at 11:54pm.

My Mum said "you just couldn't wait six minutes could you!"

No, I couldn't
