There have been two elections recently, in case you missed the other one. Yes, the US also had an election, as well as the far more important NZ one 🙂

Anyway this bit of trivia comes from the SMH's Column 8, the source of all really important information.

"The United States and New Zealand have had elections resulting in changing government less than a week apart," writes Neil Jackson, of Barden Ridge. "What is even more remarkable is that the successful challengers, Barack Obama and John Key, were born less than a week apart. Obama was born on August 4, 1961, while Key was born on August 9, 1961."

Hey! They are both three and a half years younger than me and I haven't got to be PM or Prez yet- time to start buying votes for the next election 🙂

Next important question- where on earth is Barden Ridge?
