Except it's not actually 1/1461 though. It's not like you have sex and then a random number generator is used to determine how long the pregnancy will be. It's probably more like 1/60 chance (allowing for early or late birth, as a rough guess). Of course, if you have a cork of just the right size you can eliminate the chance of a premature baby...
