According to google, you're 38 and born on 10/18/1966.

But then google also says you're currently a free agent in Major League Baseball.

28th December 1963.
I`m so sad, with nothing to edit, all I have to do is twiddle my thumbs and try to solve this poser.

Calculations thus.
15000 divide by 365 = 41.09

.09 of a year is 35 days.

hence Dec 28th 1963.

Tum de tum..................

You probably used Excel, which ignores leap years, and gives your DOB as 05/02/1964 using the equation "="28/02/2005"-15000+1"
