Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on October 15, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Steve Crocker! The world owes you countless thanks for cleverly inventing the RFC series—which began as a humble stack of typewritten papers shuffled between desks in the '60s. Who'd have thought that your informal memo system would become foundational to an invention as vast and revolutionary as the Internet itself? By simply asking folks politely "Request For Comments?" you've probably earned yourself the spot of world's official first internet troll!

Here's hoping that today brings more laughter than syntax errors, fewer protocol headaches, and far less debugging than those early coding marathons. Cheers to many successful years ahead!
