Argh!! We missed BK's birthday...................

Belated congratulations. You should have told us. Were you hoarding cake?

I didn't have cake. In fact, I had a quiet night in trying to write an essay. And went out for tea, and got in an argument with my mum. Ah, a good night. :D

Happy Birthday to all that I missed. Work decided to bury me this semester. So Happy Belated Birthday to all!

You know two birthdays are nice, but Neither of them are close.

Actually there is a trick to my Birthday(s).

you see all I did was switch the month with the day. (since there is no 20th month I dropped the zero)

In case your wondering....It's She. and I'm googable ( er..able to be found on google.)


Cake? I love peanut butter and chocolate...is that a cake?

Doesn't putting the zero back in give 20th December 1983, which you say is wrong? Perhaps U.S. date format is even less logical than I thought. More help required, please.

Hmm... googleable eh? Anyone else here googleable? If so, does that make googlable peeps famous?

err.. for the birthday I'm using the Month/day/year format. therefore 12/20/1983
becomes 2/12/1983 I don't change the year. I'm sure in other formats I could get all kinds of numbers....(more birthdays? hum...)

for the googleable you can search either Rookee alding or rookeealding...the searches actually vary. you can even find the Phorm. and find that I'm actually a very boring person....with a lot of time on my hands...I have no idea who ro0rkee alding is though. even though it will ask if that is what you meant to search for....

as for famous, I don't think so. You can google a lot of things that are not exactly interesting.

So, when you say neither date is close, you mean the second one is right?

I have removed the Feb entry and hope everything is correct now.

Maths has changed a lot since it was beaten into me..................

Wouldn't say I'm googleable, but someone created a Wikipedia entry about me a couple of years ago - does that count?

As for my birthday, luckily it falls on 4/4 which tends to limit any misunderstandings (and also means I don't have to think too much when typing details into either US or UK websites!)

That is better than Google!

I took the trouble to find it and as you are too modest to include the link, I have done so. If I've got the wrong link I will hang my head in shame.

Look it's Ptolomy

No mention of the pointy stick, I see... If I had the proper account I'd see that the fault was rectified. Oh well. It'll have to be a dry article.
