Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on May 12, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Gareth Evans! May your celebrations be as logically sound and metaphysically profound as your groundbreaking contributions to philosophy. Your brilliant insights into language have left us all speechless—quite ironic for philosophers who love talking endlessly!

From unraveling the mysteries of reference to exploring identity puzzles that make our heads spin, you've truly elevated philosophical discourse. Today we celebrate not just another year older but another year wiser in navigating existential quandaries.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you joy beyond semantics and cake sweeter than solving a complex logical paradox. Cheers to many more years of philosophizing greatness!
