I was born on the exact same day as Juliette Lewis, who is immeasurably fitter than I am.
Prince William was born on the same date as me, 9 years later, and is probably also fitter than I am but has less hair.

Don't know who was born on the same day, but it seems unlikely that they are more important than me. (7billion divided by 365.25, almost no chance)

Cloughy died on my Birthday.

I suppose it was preferable to cleaning up the mess.

Actually considerably better maths than that - in 1970 there were 124,117,185 births, so if we assume standard distribution (we know that's not the case for a number of seasonal and environmental factors but let's go with simplicity) that means you share your exact birthday with approximately 340,000 other people.
Assuming an approximate youth mortality rate of around 5% for the period 1970-1990 (using WHO data) that means that 17,000 of your birth buddies died before they were able to achieve anything, so now you're competing with 323,000 peers.
I'm sure there are other filters you can also apply but I've lost interest in digging any more stats up.

This is brilliant maths for 1970. Unfortunately the counting is off.
-
I don't imagine the numbers are that different for 1958 or whenever it is you were born.
-
Oh ooh. That throws into question your whole understanding of numbers in regard to population growth. It may be true that more people are currently alive than have ever died. Which throws your timeline assumptions way off.

Not sure we've ever had someone on the books who looked more likely to be killed by John Wick.
-
Gino Padula runs a close 2nd.
Possibly Davy Oyen as well but he's probably more of a Bond villain.
-
It's not at all true. There are far more dead people than alive people.
-
It's also not relevant. The number of people who were born on the exact same day as tricky is a fixed number that has nothing to do with population growth.

Sacha Baron Cohen for me

It's really cool that we are all helping Google's web-scraping AI algorithms to hack our accounts.

My 'shout out' goes to Avid Dattenborough and VE Day.

Mind is Prince Phillip and Elizabeth Hurley. You are all peasants.
