Many Happy Returns of the Day.

I didn't know why people said things like "returns of the day", so I googled it, and I got this: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?l=r&p=13

quote:
return
c.1366, "to come back," from O.Fr. retorner "turn back, return," from re- "back" + torner "to turn" (see turn). Transitive sense is attested from c.1420. The noun is first attested c.1390, "act of coming back;" in the tennis sense, it is from 1886. Meaning "official report of election results" is attested from 1459. Meaning "a yield, a profit" is recorded from 1626. Many happy returns of the day was used by Addison, 1716.

May all your investments increase, you win the raffle, you don't get lost, and you have a very good day. [Smile]

Well, better early than late. *puts head in hands* Someone's birthday is November 12, I swear. I don't know who. I can't remember.

Four Days of Birthday! Taalconpalooza! [Smile]

------

In my attempt to figure out just whose birthday Friday was, I found the following: http://en.thinkexist.com/birthday/November_12/

quote:
1840 Auguste Rodin was born on November 12, 1840
French sculptor of bronze and marble figures, 1840-1917
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

Oh...I love Rodin. He's my favorite sculptor. [Smile]

For Day Two of Taalcon's birthday, I give you a Rodin sculpture.
