    The last couple of months have seen plenty of new countries joining the site - including India, Israel, Venezuela and Brazil. In fact, 26 countries are now represented, and there are over 300 people listed so far, which is over one every day - and the number of people adding profiles has been accelerating over time, which is great.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most popular birthdays so far are 11th November, 31st May, and 23rd January, and there are some interesting degrees of separation developing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Easter Egg feature has also been significantly enhanced, so if you haven&#039;t found it yet, keep looking!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And be sure to keep up with your ranking by visiting your profile regularly... &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.millionpeoplepage.com/blog/templates/mppblog/img/emoticons/wink.png&quot; alt=&quot;;-)&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;&quot; class=&quot;emoticon&quot; /&gt;

    I have added an enhancement so that when it is someones birthday, their name shows up on the homepage. Also, when you view their profile, a Happy Birthday message is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As luck would have it, it &lt;b&gt;is&lt;/b&gt; someones birthday today &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.millionpeoplepage.com/blog/templates/mppblog/img/emoticons/wink.png&quot; alt=&quot;;-)&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;&quot; class=&quot;emoticon&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If all one million people add their birthday, then by the laws of averages, there will be approximately 2740 birthdays &lt;i&gt;every day&lt;/i&gt;. Wow...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But even more surprising is that according to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/sn_arc98/11_21_98/mathland.htm&quot; &gt;Mathtrek&lt;/a&gt; it only takes 23 people in a group for there to be a 50/50 chance that two or more people share a birthday!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of today (with 67 people on the site) there are already THREE people with the same birthday (1st November). I&#039;ll leave it you to find them...
