15 Years

#1 Post by Scurra » Fri Oct 20, 2023 7:38 pm

Puzzlebrains is 15(!) years old. This is ridiculous and somehow impressive all at the same time.

(In passing, it is exactly the same age as my cat. Almost to the week. Which is obviously not a coincidence.)

All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Oh, look, I refuse to accept all these kids and whippersnappers growing up, but now you tell me your *cat* is 15?!
No. Not having it. I am NOT that old.

Although I vaguely remember (or hallucinate about) a mention of Bastet?

Wow! I never knew I'd mentioned her... Shame that picture seems to have been lost in the depths of history though.
Close - she's called Hatshepsut (after the first female Egyptian Pharaoh), but it's mostly Hatch for short. :D

edit: here's a picture of her more recently.

Happy birthday us and your cat!
