Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on June 03, 1971)

Happy birthday, John Hodgman! May this year bring you "More Information Than You Require" and fewer awkward encounters with mole-men. Your comedic wisdom remains unmatched—often making every absurdity somehow logical—even Jon Stewart couldn't resist absorbing your enthusiastic facts on The Daily Show.

Your books have reliably guided us through life's deepest puzzles (such as feral dogs or hoboes)—because who else could handle that expertise? As we celebrate another orbit of planet Hodgman around the sun, may all questions about pointless trivia forever lead directly to you—the reigning authority still holding court in complete world knowledge. Cheers!
