How Many Days?


Looky here
. Shove your date of birth in and off you go.
Don’t be put off by the first bit – it tells you your estimated date of conception, which is a bit icky – but plough on – it gets more rewarding.

It would seem that I am loving and giving – yup – born on a Friday – arguably the coolest day of the week to be born on.

I am 924, 167, 933 seconds old last time I looked, it is 261 days until my next birthday, and I can boil 3.43 US ounces of water with that many candles (it’s an American site – I’m not sure what this US ounces business means either – nor if there are different ounce amounts dependent on what country you are in, or if it’s just them there Americans being loop-de-lally again).

More importantly though, I have discovered that I am not just stuck with Cliff Richard as a birthday partner. I can claw back some amount of self respect with James Bond himself. Yes, 007 Roger Moore is my birthday partner. Get me. And listen to this strange twist of fate. So – do you remember the
dancing in the car incident
. And the Microphone Radio incident.

Well, it would seem that it is no coincidence that I’m a bit of a Stevie Wonder fan. In fact, some might say, it was meant to be…
Yes, that’s right, Sir Duke itself was topping the charts in my year of birth. Now if that doesn’t give me credibility (yes, I’m still struggling to get over the Cliff Richard thing), then I don’t know what does.

And finally, the other cool bit on the site is that if you click in the black square box on the left at the end – it shows you what the moon looked like when you were born – how cool is that!

P.S. if you have a look at “what your name says about you”, it’ll tell you what your “Soul Urge” is. I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that…
