Happy Birthday, Teppy! (Are you no longer advertising your birthday weeks and months in advance? I kind of liked the buildup in past years!)
It sort of snuck up on me this year. I *must* be getting old!
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Teppy!!!

Suggestions always welcome!
Issac Newton? Albert Einstein? Benoît Mandelbrot?
Taken, taken, and good one! Max Planck just made my list also.
Today is also the 6th anniversary of Second Life (Happy SL6B), which might have been timed to coincide with Turing's birthday. Or Kinsey's.

Raq, your 'revolutionary' assignment put me in mind of Colin McKenzie, the subject of Peter Jackson's Forgotten Silver. A film I highly recommend. Jackson tells a compelling story about this cinematic visionary who revolutionized celluloid. Except, he didn't. Sam Neill and Leonard Maltin lend gravitas. I loved it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Raq, how about George Eastman or Edwin Land?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happiest of happy birthdays to you, Teppy!
What about J.R.R. Tolkien, for a revolutionary?

I've been having hip trouble, sharp pain, so when I sit down I've been standing up very slowly. At a party the other day, some guy saw me getting off a couch slowly, and "helped" me up without asking, which left me in agony for hours.

A couple people suggested this, but I think Tolkein would despise being called a revoltuionary.
I wanted to suggest Gary Gygax, but it's not the kind of crowd where I can do that. George Eastman, OTOH, just about right!
