I'm 43 today and I'm sad about it because being the geek that I am, I love that yesterday my age was the meaning of life. Today my age is just a weird, odd number. So I've done some research on the number 43 that I thought I'd share with you in an effort to make 43 more palatable.

- So I started this list to make me more interested in being 43 but now it's just pissing me off as I realise how many 43 really is...
