Exactly. I doubt it would make any difference, even if they could prove without any doubt, that he wasn't born then or not at all.

I was hoping somebody would prove that he was born on the 29th February, then we would only have to put up with this b0ll0cks once every four years.   :devil:

Great idea. Let's lobby for the change. :) In fact, let's have all religious festivals on the same date!  :thumbs:
