If you haven't, you should add your birthday to the Mecha Birthday List on the Mecha Wiki.→[More:]We haven't updated the list in some time, so I figured now is a good chance to remind people to add themselves or others!
Not to be all paranoid peter about this, but be aware that your date of birth is commonly used by organisations as a question to prove you are who you say you are. By publically announcing your bithday (and birth year) you're potentially giving a little more information to those that would hijack your digital identity for nefarious reasons.
Also, I'm tempted to give myself 3 or 4 birthdays. Hopefully, nobody will notice & it'll result in people saying nice things about me 3 more times a year.
Oh my! I just added mine, and I didn't shrink in fear at the gobbledy gook (html, I'm presuming). Just copied the line above, changed the date and my name, and Shazzam! Awesome.
