Blow my candle
Today it’s my birthday! Yay for me! How old I am? I have now reached the age of 32, but still feel very young (most of the time).
If you’re one of those kind souls that now feel an urge to congratulate me, I’d be more than happy to accept your comment! Please write Happy Birthday in your own language so we can all learn something from this… 
So, blow my candle! (English isn’t my first language, so please excuse me if there’s anything wrong in that sentence… 
)

Happy birthday!

Wow, we share a birthday. I turned 40 today. I remember 32, it seemed like fun. As to feeling young, don’t worry, you’ll still feel young when your 30s come to an end.
And btw, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Robert, or as we say in Wales:
‘Penblwydd Hapus’
August 31st, 2006 at 19:14
Happy B-Day — or as Yoda would say
“to you, happy birthday”
August 31st, 2006 at 19:24
Happy Birthday!
footnote: Just so we’re clear, I won’t be “blowing your candle” now, or ever.

Ok, that was a pretty interesting effect
seems to be a bug in your comments, I’ll mail you the details.
August 31st, 2006 at 22:21
Edward, Emil,
Thank you!
Emil,
I fixed your comment. It’s something built-in in WordPress that transforms certain characters in the comments to HTML code, I don’t really know how to change it (suggestions are welcome).
