Is that a joke? I'm asking because you're not usually this subtle.
 
Happy Birthday guys!
 
Happy birthday, never knew that these guys/gals where here on the forums, where do they/you hang?

Actually I wasn't joking (for once ). I'm used to seeing birthdays being shown (though I've never paid a whole lot of attention to it) but I don't think I'd seen this many at the same time. It struck me too when I saw the post counts so close together. I decided I should wish them all a Happy Birthday and kill 5 birds with the same stone.

Could this be that thing they call Conservation of Energy at work ??

LOL!

That's exactly what I was talking about when I asked if you were joking. Those weren't their post counts, those were their ages!

*slaps head repeatedly while laughing head off*
Well for crying out loud, hahahaha!
What an absolute dunderhead I am
Oh my, the joke is on me, but it sure is a funny one !

Thanks you for setting me straight on that, Tom. :smile:
