Hey, it’s also Marilyn Vos Savant’s birthday today. It is also the day that the Mayan Great Calendar started on. But most importantly it’s my birthday as well. Of course, I’m only 22, which is a completely useless age. Now off to start my own thread.

You’re right, I’m not 35 today. But I only missed by three-and-a-half hours.

Wow, Lot of B-days today. Happy happy to tradesilicon, RobotArm (+/- 3 1/2 hours), waterj2 and Jean Grey twice. And don’t forget Sealemon. I’ll even wish a Happy Birthday to Marilyn Vos (idiot)Savant, to show that I’m just that damn magnanimous .

Didn’t you mention that today was your birthday yesterday? In a thread somewhere, maybe? I swear, I was going to start a thread for you. Sadly, I didn’t have the time. Happy Birthday anyway!

A Swedish Birthdaysong.

Ja, må han, leva, Ja, må han, leva,  
Ja, må han, leva uti hundrade år.  
Ja, må han, leva, Ja, han, leva,  
Ja, må han, leva uti hundrade år.

“Ett fyraldigt leve… leve han. HURRAH, HURRAH, HURRAH, HURRAH.”

Happy Birthday.🙂

Happys also to Jean Grey and an early one to ChiefScott.
