Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

Are you sure you are only going to be 72? According to my research Yosemite Sam just turned 79.
Just kidding, congratulations on all three milestones and thanks for being so generous.
If I am one of the lucky winners find a YN for the prize.
Well in 1972 I crossed the international date and had a 2nd birthday in HI that year. So, I'm really 73 on the 24th. Yes, Sam is a little older and a lot wiser too. I'm proud to share a birthday with Sam, my childhood Saturday Morning hero.

At 72 I not sure I could remember a secret handshake, so maybe there is one. I've learned that using a hand to hold up your BIG boy pants is rather important (mainly to prevent tripping), but not much of a secret.
