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!

Of all the things, I have to add to my shame that I did not know about this, although at the same time I've been trying to focus on Islam lately.

Can't just make more of it than to congratulate you for making such a good use of your 2000th post... and at the same time congratulate you to YOUR birthday So, have a happy one! And to my pleasure it seems that I don't need to add too many encouragements for you to be active on the Downs, just may you have enough time to keep it up and may the 'Downs bring you the joy and refreshment you need!

Hopefully as soon as the new school year starts (i.e. September, or maybe even earlier) the rush that I am in now will calm down and I'll be able to join again - I miss playing with you folks myself!

Anyway, THANK YOU ALL, all of ye, although I lacked a cake today - well, that's not the end. I could at least have a virtual one based on your wishes now.

Anyway also belated happy birthday to all of you I missed!
