Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on July 03, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Julian Assange! May your day be filled with fewer leaks (of cake frosting) and more encrypted candles. You've certainly made headlines—literally—and kept governments on their toes better than any caffeine-fueled programmer could dream of.

From coding wizardry to fearless journalism at WikiLeaks, you've shown the world that transparency isn't just for windows or cling wrap. Your relentless pursuit has inspired countless debates about freedom and truth worldwide; not bad for someone who probably started out debugging code in pajamas!

Here's hoping this birthday brings you laughter brighter than a leaked diplomatic cable headline. Cheers to another year shaking things up!
