Ah, memories. Long ago and far away, I had occasion to be celebrating my 
birthday while on a trip in South America. The tour leader very kindly 
arranged a surprise birthday cake for me at our hotel in Cuzco. I think the 
idea had been to put "Happy Birthday, Christine" on it but the cake wasn't 
quite big enough, and it read
"Happy Birthday, Christ"

As I said to our guide at the time, I knew we were at high elevations in the 
Andes, but this is really above and beyond!
