I tried to figure out when Lois and Clark were born, but this isn't quite so easy. Let's start with Clark: It's well-known he's Pisces, but apart from that, I have a problem. I don't have anything against a Pisces born on Feb 29th, but in 1966? There is no February 29th in 1966 - so what is his *real* birthday?

And all I know (or believe to know) is that she's a Libra and born in 1967.

Any guesses?

It couldn't be in 1965, either (it's an odd-numbered year).

Lois was born in 1967.

In the Superman comics, they had Clark born on February 29, but in Lois and Clark, they made him born in 1966. As you say, there *is* no February 29 in 1966. So if you watch the Never on Sunday episode, Clark says February 28 instead of the February 29 written on the script.

Unfortunately, for Lois's birthday all we have is that she says she's a Libra in Contact, sees her tombstone showing 1967-1993 in Tempus Anyone. Oh, and she's 26 in the Pilot episode which aired 12 September 1993, which tells us that her birthday has already happened that year, but if that was the case she couldn't really be a Libra...

I'm nearing the end of S2 after watching the first season last week. I could have sworn he said Feb. 28 at some point last week...

I've just watched "Never on a Sunday" - Clark said February 28.

Guess Dean is cleverer than the people responsible for the script, then. Thanks!

actually I had issues with the 29 or 28 thing two a year ago....before I bought the DVDs....

Well, in good old Germany Clark is born on March 15th.

But I've always wondered how his parents were supposed to know when he was born. So this can be nothing but the chosen date of his birthday.

If they didn't know when he was born, couldn't they have said that he was born on February 14? Saint Valentine's Day!

An acquaintance of mine was born on February 29, 1956. So he has really only celebrated thirteen birthdays, or twelve if you don't include the one back in 1956! That sure makes him a youthful 51-year-old!

Odd coincidence...

I'm writing a fantasy RPG based on a book whose author made the mistake of putting a thing about her world's calendar on her web site but didn't say anything about leap years. So we've just been negotiating how often they happen, and yesterday ended up deciding on one every 82 years (about 60 years by Earth's calendar)... which is fine for the dragons who are the main characters, they live hundreds of years, but considered devastatingly unlucky for the humans of the world - their medicine is Victorian era, so if you're born on the leap day you'll probably never live to your first birthday.
