The Big 4-0
Status: Hoaxy birthday presents
I turn forty today. Getting old! Shown are two of my birthday presents: a Feejee mermaid (from my wife) and a replica of the Piltdown Man skull (from my parents). They look kind of creepy together, but I think they're cool. With all these things I'm acquiring, I'll be able to open a real Museum of Hoaxes soon!

Happy Birthday Alex! Love the gifts, they look awesome.

It's some girl in my office's b-day today too. She turned 21, and now I feel old. Dang, whipper snappers. Is it cold in here? Where's my quilt?! confused

I've seen Feejee Mermaids in some Ripley's Believe It Or Not museums, but where did you get the one you own, Alex? Damn, I'm jealous.

eBay, of course. It wasn't even very expensive. (though it's just a little one.)

Dude, you look pretty rough for only being forty... cripes, that picture shows you've lost all your hair and you're turning black in spots... Oh, wait... that's the Piltdown Man... my bad

Happy birthday, fellow Friday the 13th birthday-er! No creative taxidermy gifts for me, unfortunately. Though they do say that if you have bad luck on your birthday, you have bad luck all year... :(
