Happy Birthday to that special person born on this day!

[Drac0 (Mark)]

On this day a child was born whom - by the age of 30 - would transform the world.


Happy Birthday Isaac Newton, born December 25th 1642.

I'm outraged that you would mock this special day, a day when all the people of the world come together to celebrate the birth of Santa.

All joking aside, I too am a fan of Sir Isaac.

By the winter of his 26th year he had given us the 3 laws of motion, the Calculus, and the reflecting telescope (nice!).

Honestly, I can't recall exactly what I had achieved by the winter of my 26th year, but it probably mostly involved researching women and cars.

Behind Newton it would have to be a close race between Galois, Clerk Maxwell, Euler and Einstein.

Chris.

You are 37 days early, but thanks...

Actually, there are over 4,000 religions on this planet, so I think more
people on this planet don't celebrate Christmas than do.

4,000...really? How will I know which god is the right god?

Whilst there are thousands of religions or variants of religions worldwide, around 80% of the world's population are accounted for by 4 religions.
