Arsenic and Old Dave

I am now the sum of the first four positive factorials of positive numbers!

The most depressing thing about the age of thirty three was that Alexander the Great died at 33. Dude, to be 33 and not have people putting “the Great” after your name is super depressing.

  1. “…most depressing thing about the age of thirty three..”
    It’s better than the alternative! Happy birthday.

  2. You should also note that Jesus was crucified at 33, so if you are 33 and not crucified, what are you doing with your life?
    If you want to be The Great, invade several countries with a small mobile army.

  3. Oh please, that’s so last millennium. 153 is the new 33. Plenty of time to get the Nobel Prize and conquer the world … though the clock is ticking if you’re hoping for the Fields Medal.

  4. Well, if you’re going to measure your calendar by cultural icons, you’ve passed Bruce Lee already, and are closing rapidly on Charlie Parker and Mozart.
    Happy Birthday!

  5. Cheer up! It is told of Julius Caesar that at the age of 33 he burst into crying in front of a statue of Alexander, because of your same reasons -JC had done pretty little of note before that age. So you may still have the conquest of the Gaul and the romance with Cleopatra ahead of you!
