When the apocalypse hits and I die I'm going to make my own world and leave hints that I'm around.  Nothing too cryptic though.  When they put up their equivalent of the hubble I'll engrave SUP BITCHES on the lens.

Actually, with all the crazy moral guardians gone and the world in shock, it may be easier to get laid than ever before.

hurrah no moral guardians!

The world will end 1 week and 1 day from my birthday? I need to remind relatives to give me gifts earlier then.
I had to use a calculator to count this, but I have the same birthday as you do! Or yours is eight days in the other direction.

Ok... assuming your birthday is in the early autumn months (people are born there more frequently because people become pregnant more frequently in the spring). You've still got maybe ~0.5% of the population sharing your birthday tops. My math is probably wrong here*, but I calculate a ~14% chance of having someone in a room of 30 people having your birthday.

Of course, may is in the off season for births, so it's probably a bit above .2%, but there's probably a fair few more than 30 people on the forums who would respond... maybe a hundred? But the odds aren't particularly good.

* I did
0.99530 = ~0.86
100 - 86 = 14%

Assuming Obama gets raputured, I plan to take advantage of the confusion and claim the office of Infinite President of the United States (Yes. iPOTUS.). My first edict will be to build a tower to heaven and nuke god for kidnapping/murdering/rapturing(What? I'm iPOTUS, I can make that a crime.) a large portion of humanity.

Yeah, even with thousands in the same room, the chances are far from guaranteed.

That depends. Is it "someone in this room has the same birthday as me" or "two people in this room have the same birthday"?

We did this in math class the other day, it's actually aout 75% likely (WOO GRAMMAR) that in a class of 25 people 2 people will have the same birthday.

Yeah, but that's for any two people in the room, The odds are much lower for somebody to have the same birthday as a given specific person. Right?
