I share my birthday with Charles Hermite (Born 24th December 1822), and no this doesn't mean I am almost 200 years old!. Hermite was the mathematician that first proved that the constant e is a transcendental number. I suppose this is kind of apt as philosophically I am a Buddhist.
Which significant mathematical figures do you share your birthday with? Check out this website http://www.gap-system.org/~history/Day_files/Year.html
