The thing is - you go into a group of 30 people and there is a huge chance that two people share a birthday. As someone said - there is always a "weird" date, someone's birthday, someone's death, country falling apart or whatever.
If you get 30 Hitlers in a room they all will share the same birthday. Isn’t probability crazy?
