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!!

@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?
