Reporter Fools Young Child

040208mohawkaprilfools.jpg
Yesterday, Action News spent a full 2 minutes of its newscast reporting on the First Family of April Fool's Day; the parents were born on the exact same day and their first born son was also born on April 1. (The wife also kinda sounds and looks a little bit like Jennaphr Frederick.)

Walter Perez then really gets things going, as he reads stats from a Penn researcher let us know the chances of sharing a birthday with your spouse is 1 in 365 (and a quarter, I assume) and later fools a mohawked child into believing he is on the Philadelphia Eagles. Uhh, April fool? Video after the jump.

But the odds aren't 1/365, that implies that all days have an equal amount of people born on them. I am sure there are days in, say, May or September with higher birth rates than Christmas, for example.

I may have just taken this post too seriously.
