His birthday is the 30th. Midnight marks the start of a new day, e.g. military time has midnight at 00.00 hrs.

I think TJ is correct. 29th ends at 11:59 and 59 seconds. So if he was born at midnight exactly, it would be the 30th.

If he was born at 12:00 on 4/29, that's when it is. 12:01 would be 4/30.

I disagree. Midnight is 2400 hours. The next day begins at 0001.

Sword and your roommate's mom are right. Just as the new millennium didn't technically start until 2001, a new day doesn't start until 12:01 AM.
That doesn't mean you can't jump the gun and celebrate on the 29th as we did on New Year's day 2000. Don't let it spoil your fun and DON'T
tell your roommate's mom. She'll never let you live it down.

I think he should tell people he has two birthdays - the DMV, put it on job applications, etc...
And then try to explain it. That could be interesting. |

Ya know, we DO scream "Happy New Year!" at exactly midnight... between 12/31 and 1/1.... been doing it
for years now...
So popular opinion says his birthday is on the 30th. |

And most boobs thought the "New Millennium" began at midnight on Dec. 31, 1999....when IN FACT they were a whole year too early.

My boobs set off the metal detector at the courthouse yesterday. Underwire bra. It was embarrassing - I got my boobs "Scanned" in front of everyone,
and it was announced that the reason the detector kept going off before I ever entered the damn thing was because of "Your Brassiere, M'am."
My boobs had no opinion on the new millenium. |

I'm serious - that really happened. I thought it was the zipper on my jacket. Nope. I even asked, "Is it my zipper?"
Noooo, Oh noooo. But don't worry - they'll "Wand" your chest in front of EVERYONE and announce that it is, in fact, your boobs that are setting off the machine before you ever walk into the damn thing. |

Airport security being what it is, I think I'll take my chances with floppy boobs. I can always wear overalls to cover them up. Hehe

I've already planned to wear flip flops so I don't have to take my shoes off. We are taking only carry on bags, and I have studied all about the dos and don'ts of those regulations. Now I have to worry about my bra setting off the alarms! SHIT!
