Pointless, Randon yet quite interesting facts...

Think that's erm stretching the truth a fair bit but like Brisbane and The Gold Coast I believe it is sub tropical, there's a wet and dry season. When it rains it really fucking rains, not like drizzly shit. Summer is the wet season.

I was in Oz for 6 months over 92 / 93, working near Bowral / Mittagong, NSW, and travelled to Cairns in January 1993.
It pissed it down monsoon style twice a day for an hour or so, I'd have a cagool on and would be sweating like mad wearing it. Took it off in the end and just got wet and then my clothes would be bone dry an hour later.

The locals would get in their cars and drive around deliberately running over the cane toads that came out onto the road when it rained.

There was a Scandinavian family with 3 kids born in the 70’s and 80’s iirc.
Each kid was born 3 years apart on the 29th Feb

Think I recall something about that.

It was in the Guinness book of record for year X… again iirc… and they had a picture of all 3 of them, with the odds on the chances of it happening

Was their dad a precision grinder?

Surely that would be four years apart?

Leap years are ’0, ’4, ’8, ’2, ’6 and back to ’0.

Was it this family ?

What are the odds of that? Meet the THREE leapling siblings each born on February 29 on consecutive leap years

A trio of American siblings can lay claim to equalling a world record - after they were each born on three consecutive leap year days.

I suppose technically if you try to conceive on or a few days before 9 months prior then it’s not as random as one might think when babies can be induced. Not saying it’s very common but it can be manipulated to some degree.
