Birthday Trivia

Since it is my birthday today I thought I would throw out a little trivia for you all. Personally I did not look all this up but my radio station wishing me a happy birthday did! Did you know...

Here is a little birthday trivia for you...


* More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month. The two other months in which birthday rates are high is July and September.

* Close to two billion Birthday Cards are sent each year in the U.S. alone, accounting for nearly 58 percent of all cards sent.

* The world's largest birthday cake was created in 1989 it weighed 128,238 pounds, 8 oz. and used 16,209 pounds of icing.

* The most common birth date is October 5 and the least common is May 22 in U.S.A.

* Paul McCartney's Birth Certificate was auctioned in March 1997, for US $84,146. It is believed to be the world's most expensive Birth Certificate.

Hope you had a nice birthday :) My birthday is in August, but I guess that's pretty normal, although I rarely meet people who are born in my same month. It seems like a lot of people are born in December. I only know like two people who have birthdays in Sept and July.

When I was in the hospital giving birth to our first son (Feb 2004) the maternity floor was almost completely deserted. I asked where everyone was. "Most people have babies in the summer," the nurse told me. I asked her why. She said, "Well.... because most people, uh, are INDOORS during the winter (hint, hint)." LOL. Probably true. When my second son was born (August 2008) it was VERY busy on that floor. Happy Birthday!!!
