I just noticed something...in each month, they mention the zodiac sign that starts in that month, and accompany it with a picture...
Capricorn, with a goatydemonman.
Scorpio with Insect Queen in Scorpion form.
Taurus with Superbaby bullfighting.
Libra with Libra.
Leo with Superman as a lion.
Virgo with...Supergirl. To be fair, that'd be a hard one to illustrate without the implications, but I'm sure they could have come up with something that didn't make one ponder Kara (or some other character's) sex life...
Well, to be fair, it is a specifically American calendar, pretty much, and most of the bigger American religious holidays tend to be Christian. They have a few Jewish holidays on there, too. I mean, I agree with you, but I think the issue is more that calendars in general seem to have a Christian bias, rather than this one in particular.
Umm. Isn't it sort of a canon thing that Dick's mother called him Robin because his birthday was the first day of spring? If so, why is his birthday in the middle of November on the calendar?
Depends on which canon its in - if it's Post-Crisis, that wouldn't be here. Also, since this is Pre-Crisis, you have both the Earth-1 and Earth-2 Dick Graysons to choose from - what's true for one might not be true of another.
Nobody shares my birthday! ...but my favourite Legionnaire is born the next week, so that's OK.
(How would they calculate birthdays for Legionnaires, anyway? Most of them won't be born until the 2900s-- and half of them are born on other planets, making the calculation of an equivalent Earth date insanely difficult. Did they get Brainiac 5 to do it?)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

Ummmm, okay.
Okayh, how about my sister's b-day:
BLANK
Crap!
How about my Dad's; July 10th :
'Birthday of Drake Burroughs (Wildfire) '
..........
I have absolutely no idea who that is.
Now all I have to do is find out my friend's b-day's and weird them out with my nerdiness.
'Met any computer hacker's recently?'
'I want to come to your party if you can work the top hat and fishnets...oh nothing, nothing'.
