Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on April 22, 1942)

Happy birthday, Giorgio Agamben! May you joyfully celebrate another year outside any state of exception or existential limbo. Your thoughtful ideas have rescued countless confused graduate students wandering lost in philosophical wilderness—truly your greatest triumph since articulating the mysterious "homo sacer."

From questioning sovereignty to examining bare life, you've transformed complex concepts into everyday table-talk (at least among philosophy majors). Thank you for consistently pushing boundaries and resurrecting ancient Greek terms that philosophers secretly pretend they understand fully.

Cheers on your special day; may it be as timelessly remarkable as your theories—and slightly less enigmatic!
