All with post counts in the teens and twenties. What are the odds of that?

Is that a joke? I'm asking because you're not usually this subtle.
 
Happy Birthday guys!
 
Happy birthday, never knew that these guys/gals where here on the forums, where do they/you hang?

Actually I wasn't joking (for once ). I'm used to seeing birthdays being shown (though I've never paid a whole lot of attention to it) but I don't think I'd seen this many at the same time. It struck me too when I saw the post counts so close together. I decided I should wish them all a Happy Birthday and kill 5 birds with the same stone.

Could this be that thing they call Conservation of Energy at work ??

LOL!

That's exactly what I was talking about when I asked if you were joking. Those weren't their post counts, those were their ages!

Well for crying out loud, hahahaha!

Oh my, the joke is on me, but it sure is a funny one !

Thanks you for setting me straight on that, Tom. :smile:
