Heh
>least common birthday... December 25...
>Positive and negative associations with culturally significant dates may influence birth rates. The study shows a 5.3% decrease in spontaneous births and a 16.9% decrease in Caesarean births on Halloween
The 'positive and negative associations' of the 'culturally significant dates' being that the hospital staff is busy elsewhere and would prefer to handle it a few days on either side? Either some aspects are being passed over too quickly or these were simply poor studies to begin with. — LlywelynII 19:06, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Move to strike what seems like insignificant, dubious info
"An individual's Beddian birthday, named in tribute to firefighter Bobby Beddia, occurs during the year that their age matches the last two digits of the year they were born."
Even while reading the article cited, this makes little sense to me and seems to be extremely esoteric and possibly insignificant info. Alexandermoir (talk) 15:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
