Today is my birthday.  The other day, a friend of mine asked me how old I was going to be and when I replied 33, she exclaimed, "Oh, that's how old Jesus was when he died!"

Now, I'm all for strange birthday sayings, but this one takes the cake (no pun intended) and got me thinking how I should find an appropriate deity or public figure's death to compare people's birthdays to.  Here's the list I'm currently working off of:

Congratulations on turning 56 - you know, that's the same age Abraham Lincoln was when he was shot.  Don't go to any plays!

38?  Hey, that's how old Joseph Smith was when he died.  What'd you ask for on your birthday, more wives?

Oh, your child is 18 months old?  That's how old Jessica McClure was when she fell down the well!
