It's Smiley's birthday!
Apparently, it has been 20 years since Scott Fahlman used the first smiley (like this:

) in an e-mail to a friend.
Ofcource this can't be checked, so no one really knows for sure.
But, it's still a good reason for a party!
A party for everybody's friend (except perhaps HLD

)... SMILEY!!

I may have misunderstood something, but didn't he just end the e-mail with the signs

?

@tyb LOL

I don't know what it is, but on the site I got it from it was no bigger then 2,5cm2.

@Bloodmist
No, that is (as far as I know) correct. And that was 20 years ago today. That's what I wrote to isn't it?
Or has my english failed me again?

I would just like to remind every one that the "sad face smilie" ( :-( ) is copyrighted and use of it will be punished.

Thank you.
