Happy Birthday
Permalink  

Here's an oddity for you...

 

 

On the 31st of December

 

We are all 2018 today      Today the whole world is the same age.

 

Today is a very special day.

 

It happens only once every 1,000 years.

 

Your age + your year of birth = 2018.

 

This is true for everyone.

 

It is both strange and inexplicable. Try it and see.

 

It will not happen again for another 1,000 years.

 

So.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY everyone !!

 

Ok, you can stop trying your whole family. It works.

"It happens only once every 1,000 years."????

 

Doesn't it happen every year 

 

Your age + your year of birth = current year         (if you have had your birthday)

 

Your age + your year of birth +1= current year    (if you haven't had your birthday)

A big con. Year of birth stays the same and you get a year older along with the calendar year.
