@Adam, I love Niks ability to blow your mind.
@Lance. I concur. Man i WISH I was listed on the Shorters database. Isn’t a role on Shortland Street like th epitome of success for all New Zealanders?

@lance: haha, that’s a pretty awesome idea actually.

I played a cranky but brilliant doctor with a penchant for vicodin and a bung leg…

Why not leave it in there? Where’s the harm? Make some wild story up about the role you played…

@adam: in 1986, "Nicholas" was 17th. So not a big change. ;)

@andy: You're right, it is about any two people. Still, 1 in 365 is fairly low compared to say, 1 in 10,000,000.

LOL! please tell me you sent this to IMDB! Only thing I can think of is you should of found out how popular “Nicholas’ was in 1986 not 2007… other than that you blow my mind.

I thought the birthday paradox only applies if you’re talking about *any* 2 people sharing a birthday in a set, if you’re talking about someone sharing your particular birthday then it doesn’t count :P

@james: Dunnow. I’m guessing if I added you in it would be epic hard to remove.

Truly epic! So how *do* IMDB go about confirming you are who you say you are?
