Haha! One of my co-workers just reminded me that tomorrow is my b-day. I didn't realize that today was the 11th.

Thanks ravi - my wife and kids are threatening to each make me a cake (knowing that I don't really like cake.)

Right, you know damned well the cake isn't really for you. Put in earplugs, then make them sing happy birthday to you. If you're going to suffer a placebo birthday, you might as well make it a practical joke on them. Clap when they're finished. Cap it off with , "yay, I can't wait til next year", then hide or trash every piece of bread in the house, go back to the internet. And as Marie Antoinette said, "let them eat cake"....!..

A good birthday celebration is all about the symbolism, est là, non?

BTW, Happy Birthday......

Citation Needed.

Probably didn't happen, she was 10 at the time and in Austria.

Wouldn't you say my whole post qualified as one?

Well, other than the, "Happy Birthday", I meant that.

In the mind of a child of ten, the statement, "let them eat cake" could be an attempt to help. For someone that has never done without bread or cake, it offers a simplistic, but naive solution, to a problem not fully understood.

I didn't mean any harm by it either - I was just listening to some "stuff you missed in history class" podcasts last night and that was covered in one. Then this morning I see it mentioned, so I felt the urge to comment.
