So a bunch of medical researchers have independently discovered a link between the month in which you were born and a predisposition to certain illnesses and have come up with December as being the healthiest birth month (via Netscape, by way of The Usual Suspects).

Hmmm...i was born in December and right now I have, in order of misery: a splitting headache, bronchitis and a sprained finger. OK, so the sprained finger isn't a "health" issue, but still...I'm not feeling the December love here.

Interestingly though - for me at least - December babies are "predisposed to respiratory syncytial virus, an infection that causes pneumonia" - I had pneumonia several times as a child, I was even hospitalized for it once. And since there is a link between bronchitis and pneumonia maybe that explains me having the former twice in the last three years. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go cough up another lung.
