Depends if you give the correct answer to annoying questions, or just
record the random answer you gave them.

DoB is sometimes a security question, and sometimes used to validate
age. Either way any date from before 21 years ago should work for most
services, so pick one and record it.

Incorrect DoB might be a terms of service violation with some services,
so if the service is useful or you need to put financial transactions
through you can usually "correct your DoB later".

Anyone admit to running similar prepared to say what proportion of users
claim to be born January 1st....
