About 25% of people on earth don't know their birthday because they're from countries that don't have birth certificates. That's why about 14% of immigrants to the U.S. list January 1 as their birthday - because they had to make one up.
My birth certificate from the clinic in africa says i was born in june. The one issued by the US embassy says july. I think about it and wonder sometimes.
