"Let them eat cake!"

[TahitiNut]

As I blow out the 2⁶ candles, my fervent wish will be for 24 hours free of death in Iraq.

:party: Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow ... :cry:

[stellanoir]

1. Happy Birthday !!!

Have a great day and an even better year.

It would be truly amazing if you got your wish.

Have there been 24 hours without death in Iraq in 4 & 1/4 years?

Would we even know for sure?

It would be a start.

[Dhalgren]

2. Happy birthday, Nut!

I will join you in your wish, but, like you, I don't feel real lucky... :cry:

:party:

:cry:

[Tammie]

3. Happy Birthday!!!

I sincerely hope you get your wish.

[madokie]

I wish for two things, the 24 hours you speak of and many more b days for you :-)

[Gregorian]

5. Happy 128/2 birthday!

Insert exponential joke here<<<

[librechik]

19. um, yeah...

hope I live to be two to the 6th power years too

Bravo, TahitiNut!

[DarkTirade]

53. For us computer geeks the easiest way to do that math

is 256/(2*2)
We have to crunch everything into byte sized pieces and go from there. :)

[TahitiNut]

62. Or "256 SRL 2" ... (favored by the hardware types).

(Shift Right Logical)

:evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

64. Didn't know there was a hardware way of bitshifting. :)

But that's because I'm a programmer, not a hardware guy.

[IChing]

6. Nobody said there was going to be Math on DU

Will you still need me
Will you still please me when....

Happy Birthday, may your wish come true.

[TahitiNut]

42. The McCartney allusion is terrific! Thanks!

15. Happy Birthday, Matsubarasan!

誕生日おめでとう!

Please ... notice the superscript, Matsubarachen. :silly:

[Matsubara]

32. I can read "tanjobi omedetou"

"matsubarachen"? Matsubara-chan?

Anyway, happy birthday to you, too. Barbara Jordan is a class avatar.

[TahitiNut]

34. Hai. Tanjobi omedetou, Matsubara-chan!

13. "We will still need you, We will still feed you!"

Happy Birthday, you tropicalifornicated fruitcake, you!

[TahitiNut]

18. Ohhhhh!! GREAT allusion! Thank you!

I'd overlooked that. It's my McCartney Year! That's super! :rofl:

[poverlay]

14. Congratulation for being a big 64. Your wishes bespeak a mighty heart and I'm proud to be here with

you for hopefully another great year. Don't feel old though. My Dad is 71 and can beat the pants off me in everything from long distance walking(sightseeing) to math. He would have known what 2 to the 6th was even quicker!

[aikoaiko]

16. What? No love for the rest of the world?

17. Happy Birthday

20. 26 my ass!!!

:hi:

:loveya:

[Nikki Stone1]

21. Exponents rock!

:yourock:

[CatWoman]

22. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

now I get it


:)

[Nikki Stone1]

25. I was afraid it was too "Katie", but, in this case, I thought the phrase fitting

:D

I also love prime numbers but I am a real geek's geek.

[TahitiNut]

26. It's my geekiness that makes me a perfect square.

:silly: ... and makes me love such lame puns.

[Nikki Stone1]

27. Now I could swear you had more dimension that that. (A cube, maybe?)

:D

[TahitiNut]

29. A cube ... but not a "perfect cube"

x² + 4x + 4

x = 6

[Nikki Stone1]

37. Who needs the negativity of a perfect square anyway?

You're at the age when you could be a square or a cube. And I think that means more cake. :)

[TahitiNut]

41. There's something beautiful about 'negativity' that yields positive results.

:rofl: (Gawd!! Once a geek - always a geek? Or is that imaginary?)

[Nikki Stone1]

46. Unless you're a square root.

Then it's all imaginary.....

:)

[IChing]

28. My age will be a Fibonacci number this year if that helps

[TahitiNut]

23. OK... I'll be right down.

:evilgrin:

:loveya:

[CatWoman]

24. bwahahahahahahahahaha

[TahitiNut]

35. Hey! Moon children have a good GRASP on things.

:silly: She must be a WONDERFUL person! :dunce:

[slowry]

31. Happy 0x40th :) n/t

[TahitiNut]

40. Thanks! Yep... I could've said ...

.... "40₁₆ candles" ... for even more confusion. :silly: For that matter, "20₃₂" works, too ... or "100₈" for the octal set.

I ALMOST got my wish ... and "almost" counts (in horseshoes and hand grenades).

:hi: :party: :patriot: :loveya:

[roguevalley]

63. Happy birthday, even though I am still older but maybe not wiser than you,

you whipper snapper, you. :P

[Mind_your_head]

65. Happy Birthday TahitiNut!

I've never been very good with math....so your 'age' escapes me ;-) .... it's only a number anyway (and that's 'true')

May your wish come true for not just the next 24 hours, but for the next 24 years.....decades even!

:toast:

Kindest regards and Best Wishes,
M_Y_H
