    More than likely just a way to get information.

    After all if people respond by posting what single was number 1 on the week of their 14th birthday, you've narrowed it down to 7 possible dates for your birthday.

    Which can then be mined for advertising, scamming or hacking purposes.

    It's a wonder more people aren't aware of this fishing trait to obtain password information and stuff,you see these daft requests all to often on facebook.

    Clearly the OP has been contributing to topics on this board for the last NINE YEARS simply in anticipation of mining this valuable information :rotfl:.

    Please re-read my post, I wasn't accusing the OP of data mining. Simply making others aware of the potential risks in partaking in those "fun" quizzes/questions you get on social media.

    Well it could be the last 3 digits of your mobile means xyz this month and the first 3 digits mean something else next month.

    I'm on no social media - Facebook, Twitter, but I know it can mean xyz. It's pathetic.

    What you think will define you will affect how you see yourself. Then you will try to force this self image onto others. Welcome to the eighties designer world?

    Searchers - Needles And Pins

    Quite liked it, but I don't think it was my defining moment. :) What a sad life I'd have had if it did!

    Lyrics
    I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
    I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
    But still they'd begin, needles and pins
    Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
    Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart
    Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
    She's worse to him than me, let her go ahead
    Take his love instead, and one day she will see
    Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
    Hey that's how it begins, she'll feel those needles and pins
    A-hurtin' her, a-hurtin' her
    Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
    Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong
    Because I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
    I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
    But still they'd begin needles and pins
    Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
    Oh needles and pins, needles and pins, needles and pins
