Birthday
Not me, but did you spend your entire birthday in your birthday suit today?
Speaking of birthdays though, have you ever noticed no one wants to count the day a kid is born as actually his first birthday? It's always a year later on the same date that they say he is having his first birthday, when in actuality it is the second. So when a kid turns say 6, it is in reality his 7th birthday. You truthfully only have ONE birthday, the rest are just the anniversary of the original one.
But anyway, hope you had a Happy One.
In Vietnam the born date is the first birthday so kids are classed as being a year older than western kids born on the same day.so a 3 year old Vietnamese kid would be 2 year old in western terms. So confusing how can you be 1 year old at birth. 9 months maybe but even that is an arbitrary figure with short or longer gestation periods.
Speaking of strange ways to count age. Horses are considered to be 1 year older on the 1st of January, even if their actual birthday was just a few months previous. I guess most horses are born around the same time of year... in the spring, so maybe having only 1 day a year makes record keeping easier for horse racing.

Not all horses are race horses. Most are not, they are just for personal use/enjoyment.
All horses born in the southern hemisphere celebrate their birthday on August 1 as a means of standardising horse-related (mostly sporting) events. This date is based on the breeding season of horses, so horses born in the northern hemisphere celebrate their birthday on January 1.
