Happy Brithday Ibrî(niðilpathânezel)!

Thanks, all. It hasn't been a bad day, even though I'm not at the beach this year.

Wish I was, but considering the temps feel more like May than July, it's probably just as well.

Happy Birthday, Legate and all the best! May you forever haunt these eerie halls!

And since you're 23 and I know you study, or at least studied religion, here some religious 23-related facts:

Psalm 23, also known as the Shepherd Psalm, is possibly the most quoted and best known Psalm. Psalms is also the 23rd book in the Douay-Rheims Bible.

In Islam, the Qur'an was revealed in a total of 23 years to Muhammad.

In Abhidharma, the number of anomalous generic types (of a possible 72) - e.g., events are considered sui generis because they are not reducible to either mind or matter — is 23.

Principia Discordia, the sacred text of Discordianism, holds that 23 (along with 5) is the sacred number of Eris, goddess of discord.

In case you're wondering - but I doubt it - my source is of course http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_%28number%29

EDIT: What better post than this for my 2000th post?! Awesome!
