Matching Birthdays

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Me and my partners family birthdays all seam to cross over on the same days, e.g my uncles and my partners both on the 20th may. There are about 8 that cross over on various dates in the year. The strangest one is, my partner had a brother who died when he was a baby, he was born 9th January, when we found out we was expecting a baby the due date was 8th January, our daughter came into the world on 9th January same day as her uncle!! Also on my daughters 1st birthday my mother in law awoke to her radio, that she had not set to come on or anyone had turned on, playing the song (not a popular song - I didnt know it) that was played at her sons funeral, he would have been 18 that day. Very strange!!
