Birthday Calculator

Here's something fun from my Texas friend, Wendy. It's a Birthday Calculator that tells you all kinds of stuff, like when you were likely conceived and how many BTUs will be generated by the candles on your next birthday cake. You know, really important information. There's also something about "life path numbers" and the life numbers with which you are most compatible. Turns out The Spouse and I are highly compatible. The Child? She "should get along" with us.

My life number, by the way, is 9. Someday I'll trouble to figure out what that's supposed to mean. In case I'm on the wrong path or something.
