BIRTH
[ARCHIVAL NOTICE]
A person's date of birth is an ordinary piece of information. The events surrounding it are less so.
On any given day, thousands of things happen. Most of them disappear almost immediately.
Some remain.
Your task is not to determine what happened.
Your task is to determine what was recorded.
