Hoping House of Cards[/u] shows up for [i]Macbeth. I reckon Kyle would be able to take an interesting look at how the discrepancies between the British and American political systems affected the presentation of the story in each adaptation. Of course, he may have something completely different planned, which I will almost certainly enjoy anyway. I liked all the videos from last year.

I feel like House of Cards was already addressed when he talked about its most direct influence, which is Richard III

Oh god. There was this facebook thing going around amongst my friends where you could check which song was the number one hit the day of your birth and Todd's #1 was my loving song. Everyone else I know born that year got some pretty lovely songs too but everyone agreed that mine was the worst :(

I remember my uncle did this, and was vaguely hopeful because he was borne when the Rolling Stones and the Beatles were in full swing.

At least, for the UK charts, it was Firestarter the The Prodigy.

Here is a source that lets you see your birth song from other nations' charts that are not America, for those curious.

The conception one may be off if your mother got a C-section.

The website also has an option for the song that was playing when your parents got busy and made you. I'm assuming there are parents that plan a C-section in advance, and therefore you are born earlier than when the mother is waiting until her water breaks and goes into labor.

Until this joke is properly explained to me (and Sephiroth_IRA and OrangeKing,) I will stitch it into my heart alongside the time I heard someone making a joke about throwing their hymen out a window. Women's biology and the english language can both be very confusing.

You're at term either way. Women's water can break before or after the nine month due date assumption. Women get C-sections on their due date all the time. Etc. Wait What still fully applies.

Anyway, predicting conception is pretty difficult to begin with. They can mostly get away with it on the site because #1 songs change fairly slowly.

How did on this topic get we?

I was trying to argue that C-section could change the theoretical conception date and what song your parents were listening to, but I'll cede this discussion since I don't really want to continue it.
