I'm a dork.
I'm not much of a web designer, but those of you who have done web design know that the colors of text and other webpage elements are defined by a set of hexadecimal colors. For example, red can be defined as #ff0000.
So, I had this crazy, wild idea to put my birthday in there. This is the color #071171:
I saw that color and got all happy, since blue is my favorite color. Then I tried my dad's birthday, and my mom's birthday, and friend's birthdays, thinking that MY birthday was cooler than everyone else's. Nope. Everyone's birthday colors are almost exactly the same as mine, with only minor variations. Damn.

It's never occurred to me to check that. Mine's blue, too. Oh well.
I'm sure Mrk could explain why they're all blue. I'm going to assume mine's blue, too.
They all should be blue, at least for the next pile o' years.
The colors are:

Since months fall 1-12, that means only a little red.
Days are 1-31, which means a little more green.
Since most of us were born mid-late last century, that means a lot of blue.
Someone born in 2000 won't have any blue, but since they're only 8 right now, odds are slim they'll be thinking of this yet. Maybe in 10 years.
