http://www.camineet.net/camineet/theories/birthday.asp I suppose it's worth pointing out, just for my own sanity, that in the original Japanese it didn't specifically say オーガスト (August), it probably said "8月11日" (literally, the eleventh day of the eighth month). Therefore suspension of disbelief isn't quite so strained by the challenge of there having been an Augustus in Algol's history. Still, the assumption that all three planets of the Algol System have revolution cycles of 365.26 days is barely forgivable. At least in a universe where Earth exists and is none of those planets. (Although maybe Mother Brain... you know.)
