You could ask Whorf.
In Klingon, he'd say, we have no concept for "happy", and "Nick" is a grievous insult that would result in a sacrificial Lak-Nop-Aggghk ceremony of gratuitous brutality and carnage.

So some say. Apart from the grievous insult bit. Some say even the lumps on his forehead aren't real. The evidence for this is hard to dispute - when Captain Kirk first encountered the species, they merely looked Spanish, of the excessively greasy and hirsute variety it's true, but no less humanoid for that.

I suppose we ought to say Happy Birthday to Goddess but since she never condescends to speak to us, I don't think I'll bother.
(Do goddesses have birthdays? Aren't they immortal?)

Happy Birthday, STA.
Even though you'll be far too busy putting the unscientific in their place on the Science board to look in here.

Not true, but she does not suffer fools gladly.

True - but I didn't want pippa to think I meant to imply that the marchesa was the only fool around.
