Saw this on the BBC site earlier. It's quite interesting for various reasons and I know it's not to be taken too seriously but apparently everyone born on your birthday was the 76,651,254,601st to have lived since history began. :greengrin

WolframAlpha is very impressive for stuff like that

Edit: Using that site I've just worked out that Monday will be the 40,000th day since we won the Scottish cup

I know, it's a bit of a bummer.

I got to reading a bit about the team that day on wikipedia, the page about Harry Rennie(the keeper) is quite interesting:
