It's my FIRST birthday. Yes first. Every year from now on.

I read it in a book. And I liked it.

"Do not put lots of candles on your cake unless you want to summon aging upon yourself."

Those are my legs. For HNT.

It's Lecram's birthday too. Happy birthday Lecram.

And it's Dave Foley's birthday.

And I don't get this:

"In probability theory, the birthday paradox states that given a group of 23 randomly chosen people, the probability is more than 50% that at least two of them will have the same birthday. For 60 or more people, the probability is greater than 99%."

This is how Canadians apparently celebrate birthdays:

"Greasing the nose with butter or margarine. In Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland) the birthday child is ambushed and their nose is greased for good luck. The greased nose makes the child too slippery for bad luck to catch them. This tradition is reputed to be of Scottish decent."

I guess in Canada bad luck sneaks in through our noses.

"Birthday punches. In Quebec the birthday person receives a punch for each year they are alive and then one for good luck."

I'd like to sign up for punching people in Quebec.

Kidding.

Also it's Tamil Thai Pongal Day in Sri Lanka. Whatever the hell that is.
