Were you born on February 28? Do you know of anyone who was? I'd recently created a MySpace group looking for members who was born on that day. Just for fun, cuz I apparently have nothing better to do.

But then again, wouldn't it be great if all of us who have the same birthday meet at one place?
One giant birthday card. One giant candle. One huge birthday party!
Wanna know who else (famous, not so famous people) shares our birthday?
