The October 3 Birthday Club

Is your birthday October 3?

If so, then welcome to the club. My name is Kyle MacDonald. My birthday is October 3 and this is the official October 3 birthday club.

Fact: 6 billion / 365 = 16 million -- that means there are about 16 million people on the planet who share a birthday on October 3!

If you're lucky enough to be born on October 3, then you can "officially" join the club by sending proof that you were born on October 3 to 3october@gmail.com. Send an email something and I'll sign you up!

If October 3 is your birthday, then your parents probably had a wild New Years Eve. Think about it. 9 Months.

There's lots of fun stuff planned, so keep on the lookout.

I hope talk with all you Oct3ers out there soon!
