This evening the subject of what the most common birthday is surfaced. I did a bit of Google research. I thought y'all would be as fascinated as I with the details...

I found that October 5th is the most popular birth date in the U.S. On average more people are born on this day than any other, an average of 12,576 people are born each year on the 5th of October. 968,000 Americans celebrate this day annually.

What makes this early October birth date so fashionable? Perhaps weather figures into the equation as more people may conceive in the cooler months. October 5th however held a not-so-suprising significance, as conception would have fallen right on New Years Eve. Which birth date is the least common? May 22nd with an average of 10,259 persons born each year.

As to popularity by the month people are born:
