You say it's your birthday, it's my birthday too!

Yep, today is the day your favorite Polt turns 47 years old.  

Here's some nice birthday eye candy for me, and you, to enjoy on this occasion.




But also, there's this....

That means I'm not quite 7 years old in dog years.

Yay for dog years, and Kuwaiti dinars. 13 KD will get you, 2 Samsung DVD players, 25 bottles of strawberry juice, 3.5 kg of pistachio nuts, 20 kg of rice, 30 packets of chocolate chips, 10 meatball subs at Subway, 11 cups of coffee at Starbucks and a fancy toaster that also cooks your egg at the same time. :-) Imagine I gave you all those.

Have a super day.
