There are less people born on the 31st than any other day!

Not true. There are less people born on Feb 29th than any other day.

But you're talking about a precise day of the year. What the other person was saying is that fewer people are born on the 31st day of the month -- any month -- than on any other day of the month. And that's because only seven of the 12 months have a 31st day.

All calico cats are female...

Brown/Black pattern occurs because the gene for hair color is on the X chromosome. Females get two X chromosomes, Males get one X and 1 Y chromosome. Because only one copy of the X chromosome is necessary (and two active copies are harmful), one x chromosome in each cell is permanently inactivated during fetal development. It is completely random which copy is inactivated - hence the random pattern of brown and black fur on a calico cat.

Another random fact: If you clone a calico, the clone's color pattern will be different from the original!

The white fur in a calico is not limited from females and is the result of a separate process.
