Default When Were You Born?

There have been suggestions on the How old is everyone here? thread that we need a poll on the subject. I didn't want to add a new poll to such an old and long running thread, and I thought the question should be slightly different, because "how old are you" would quickly get out of date, but "when were you born" won't.

So: when were you born?

I just voted, I'm older than dirt. 1945-1949 with the emphasis on the 45.

Well, if I remember the story as was told by my dad, it was as soon as grandma arrived at our home, and not a moment too late at that, on the farm, back in 1954, there was no doctors for may miles around...
