The odds of 1 specific person having a birthday on the same data as 1 other specific person is 365.25:1 (taking into account leap years)
However, the odds of you knowing two people with the same birthday, at any point at all, is obviously GREATLY lower than that if you happen to know more than just those 2 people, and the odds would be based on how many people you know of course!
If you know 367 people for example then the probability you know 2 people with the same birthday is 1 (ie 100%)

And they seem to have mispelt "silly cunt chip" as well.
