There's a comment on this article about death dates to prevent siri from doing a "call dead person to wish happy birthday!".

I always found these annoying and just use my calendar or my brain to remind me of important birthdays.

Unrelated, back before Facebook wised up you could change your birthdate willy nilly. I would change it at random times just to illicit the deluge of thoughtless happy birthday messages.

I think I did this several times a year once and what depressed me was no one caught on so I just would move my actual birthday so I didn't get any.
