Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on December 10, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Ben Ripley! May your day be filled with fewer plot twists than "Source Code," and may you always find the perfect ending—preferably one that doesn't involve reliving the same eight minutes over and over again. Your brilliant storytelling has kept us on edge since 2011, proving once again that time loops aren't just for Groundhog Day.

Here's hoping this year brings even more thrilling scripts from your creative mind. Keep bending reality in ways only you can; after all, who else could make quantum physics entertaining? Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—and remember: if today feels familiar, you're probably stuck in a birthday loop!
