And not only correlated with that, something even more perhaps basic is temperature, right? In the hemisphere that you're born in, you would expect that all – I'm born, as I said, September 9th. It turns out that's the statistically most common birth date of humans on Earth. And why is that?

Exactly, right? So there's a correlation, right? Yeah, they're at home and they're indoors. They're at home. And they're procreating. Right.

And and we have several kids. And when you go to CVS, it's actually pretty interesting. She goes there to buy a pregnancy test. Now, she's the kind of neurotic, you know, person that she had to buy like five pregnancy tests for each kid. OK, I don't know why, but that's what she did. So she's a she likes data.

You go to CVS, you buy a pregnancy test, and she's on their gold plan program, whatever. She got the gold card from CVS because she's on it so many times. But when you go there, they know you're getting a pregnancy test.
