Anki didn't put on her successful extortion to get them switched around until just before the christening, when he as almost three months. OK, so that's about six months ago, now... But, hey, by then I had pretty much forgotten about this post! So, mr Knowitall, when is MY birthday? And, more importantly(), when is Anki's? :-) () Or "if, against all expectations, you get that one". [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Actually, from what I've read, men change their mind more often but are unwilling to admit it. I have missed all clues, if any were given, about your exact birthday. But you will have hit 40 by no later than a day in March of this year. No idea on Anki's birthday. Max Lief Romanus Conrad was born 17th of April, 2003. Long may he reign! :) [edit]Reading comprehension check.

Post #135,848 by CRConrad 1/15/04 5:20:34 AM Reply	Sure are. I'm still not completely satisfied with it, though Because, for one thing, "Max" is common enough in our family -- it's supposed to be in honour of my paternal grandfather, but I also have an uncle Max on Dad's side -- that having it as a second name would be enough. Just like the tyke's cousin Jonathan, my sister Tinka's son, has (IIRC). Also, I wanted to name him for my best friend ever since we were kids, his godfather Leif; now, that looks a little too much like an afterthought for my taste... Also, IMO, the original order just "scans" better, in speech as well as writing. Oh well... No, I hadn't (at least not deliberately) given any hints about my birthday; I just wanted to test your supernatural powers -- HTF do you know almost everybody's birthdays like that?!? :-) FWIW, yes, you're exactly right: I'll hit "the big four-oh"() month after next. And here's one FYI (or TMI :-) : Anki's birthday is on the same day of the month as mine, but a month later. She's exactly thirteen months younger than I. (): Decimal.

Pilkunnussija 'R Us, too! :) I've recently (in November) turned 40 myself. In hex that is. It's more fun in binary to picture the carry propagation through 111111 to get 1000000. I have a son born in January of the year before you were born and a daughter in June the same year as you. At the time, still trying to figure out what causes babies.
