Hi everyone, 

  

I was asked a question today that stumped me.  Go to the following link to see what I am talking about:

There is a symbol next to some of the numbers.  I would normally associate this symbol with temperature or degrees.  This doesn't make sense in the context of the information.  It must have something to do with the date the person was born. 

  

Anyone know what it means? 

  

Thanks!!! 

  

Marcus
