Number(s) 34

I see listed, two ladies sharing the rank #34. Are they related, or is this just a massive coincidence that they share the same birthdate? 100.38.133.168 (talk) 15:26, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They simply share the same birthdate. If one of them dies, we can change it to only one 34. Georgia guy (talk) 15:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
