Sharing Birthdays

I've heard that in a room of 23 people there is a 50-50 chance that two people will share a birthday, my room holds no exception to this, though including me it is 22. Ooh if you Google it - the Birthday Paradox, there you go. (Do any words just inspire you to break out into a rendition of say a Gilbert and Sullivan musical? A paradox a paradox a most ingenious paradox aha aha aha aha aha a paradox? no me neither, ooh and that was about a birthday too).
Anyway, it's cheating when there are twins of course (guilty) but then there's also the accidental.
BFC Ink Aliesha and Noelle are twins, and by some luck they arrived at my place on the same day (they were both available at the local Toys'r'us) which helped with the idea of me giving birthdays as the day of arrival. So Aliesha and Noelle came April 5th 2011, and became Georgia and Hayley Carmichael.

This is Hayley (left) and Georgia (right) just after opening their birthday presents this year. Hayley loves dolls, and was very happy with her Cabbage Patch Kid, Georgia the tomboy did not sit for long after this picture as she needed to try out her new in-line skates.  Her best friend Maddie was dying to see them.

Well these two were twins by design of MGA, and almost identical in appearance, but not personality.  My other twins are the McDonalds, Melody and Harmony, arrived July 6th 2011 from Maisdons-Alforj in France where they had been on vacation with their parents, to join up with their brother Brandon.

 Thats Harmony, Brandon and Melody from the left.  (Harmony is a 100+ poses Addison, Brandon is a CJ and Melody is Kaitlin from the same release.  The girls were secondhand not in box purchase off Ebay so I do not know if they were originally sold individually or together).  Whilst these twins do not look alike, they have very similar personalities.  The family actually is quite musically talented, ooh, July 6th is this Friday, and the girls will be getting something that they will no longer have to borrow from the school band supplies. 

So Birthday Paradox proven?  Twins is cheating, however by accident, other birthdays shared include Brandon and Zoe, McKinley and Ariah, Chloe and Eleanor, and Josephine and Brooke-Lyn.  I'll need to double check my records, but I'm pretty certain they were all purchased on different days, possibly different locations of origin, and even a year apart in the case of McKinley and Ariah.  I will introduce them to you all later and in more depth on their own pages.
