- It's been mathematically proven that if there are 23 people in a room, there's a 50% chance that two of them will share a birthday (it was on wikipedia so it must be true! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_paradox).
- The first birthday card originated in England in 1850
- One widespread birthday custom is delivering some form of physical torment to the person whose birthday it is, in order to drive away evil and to attract good luck, e.g. beating, punching, ear pulling or "bumping". The latter is where the friends and family of the person whose birthday it is takes them by the arms and legs, and lifts them up and down as many times as they are old.
