Joe: was your birthday, and you are 63 years old? :)

Joseph M. Newcomer replied to Mihai N.
64 is the new 40!
My ideal age was 50: my brain thought I was 30 and my body thought I was 70, so it
averaged out perfectly...
Did you know that Haloween and Christmas are the same day? Oct 31 == Dec 25.
Yes, I made it to a power-of-two-minus-1.
Thanks, all.

On the other hand, I have just realized that this is The Year Of '?'
('?' is 0x3F, or 111111)
Maybe I could choose to be in another code page?

in 0x3F, and in range [0...127] the ASCII characters are invariant for code
pages :)
Happy birthday! :)
