If you put together all the various threads on NSC you could gain quite a lot of information on people that could be useful if it was all the same person. For example:

Birth date (this)
How old are you thread has been done
Where were you born thread has been done
Where do you live thread has been done

Just need the what was your mothers maiden name thread and we're sorted.
