The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

How do people know the date they were conceived?  That falls well into the "Too Much Information" bucket in my family.  Who the heck discusses this with their parents? 

I have 3 kids and have no idea what the date of conception of any of them was......ironically the #1 song on the day I was born was "Can't Get No Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.  Clearly incorrect....

Curval, I just discussed this matter with my wife, telling about the website in question. For her it was clear as daylight: Simply calculate 280 days backwards from your birthday, add some days before and after. The same as the first link does. They teach that on eighth grade or so (no need to discuss it with your parents) and should I ask my daughters (16 and 19) about it, they'd look at me with a pitiful look and say that it's common knowledge and as a father I should know it.

I also noticed that you've been here for fourteen years, which I believe means you should be way over 20 now. I suppose by now you already know how children are made instead of believing in the Delivery Stork.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The methodology used is flawed.  Add "some days"???

What if I was born by C section?  Ooops.

The methodology is what they use in maternity clinics and it tells when the baby should be born. I was born five weeks late. I know some babies come out several months too early. Most babies fit in the "add some days" rule, though. The majority rules. Democracy...

Ok, so it is a wildly inaccurate estimate of the date of conception.

What else would you expect? Sperm can live inside a woman's womb for a week waiting for the egg, so even if you knew the exact dates and times your parents were calling the stork you wouldn't be able to calculate the date of conception.

Then again, for this kind of amusement it's accurate enough. Aren't top ten songs charted by a weekly basis, movies maybe even more seldom?

It's also accurate enough for medical purposes, i.e. to find out when the baby should be viable without an incubator or such.
