Just like birthdays, the odds are good you will have two die on the same day. In my high school home class of about 50 we had 3 on my birthday. All same year, and same hospital. And there was at least one more in my class as he was born in the same hospital. I will admit that 3 out of the first 7 to die on July 4 is high, but not improbable. Interesting idea. Now if I can get my stocks in proper order like that.

I definitely would like to see the odds of the two presidents instrumental in the signing of the Declaration of Independence dying not just on the same day but on a July 4 that happened to be the 50th anniversary of that Declaration. (And then factor in another president dying on the same day five years later.)

Maybe that statistic is on the Web. I'll check.
