"For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off." - Johnny Carson

Someone suggested that August was the month with the most birthdays. I thought that this would be because people are bored during the festive season.

Here is some data supporting this observation:
Birthday Trends and Stats (Hallmark)


"August Is The Top Month For Birthdays; Third Quarter Boasts Most Births"

Data Sample from Meredith College:


(This corrects for month lengths; you'd expect a month with 31 days to have more birthdays than a month with 28, ceteris paribus)

The month with the disproportionately highest number of birthdays is September, followed by August and then July.

The months with the disproportionately lowest number of birthdays are October, then January.

The former supports my "friskiness during the festive season" theory (right after the festive season, you go back to work and have no time to fool around). The trough in January is perhaps because people want to go out when Spring comes.

When one thinks of fungus, they don't generally associate it with
    the head or scalp, but the itching, burning scalp, rash or
    pimples on the scalp could very well be caused by a fungus, requiring antifungal
    shampoo to provide well needed relief to the symptoms.
