How I hate maths - but this post amused me.

So did the first comment - only because it broke into English characters for 6 letters.

I was gonna work it out and you gave the answer! That's no fun!! It's okay, I'm sure someone else has a birthday, right? Oh, and the post above I think is spam. I put it in a google translator and it just talks about a cleaning service. Have a great day!
