That's about ten thousand birthdays per day. <i>The 50 Year Dash</i> is the perfect book for every single one of them. 579481 18 5 1998 50 Year Dash total:1|3:1| 1 3 2 0 0 0 false false Mon Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 16:15:08 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 16:15:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 16 11:27:05 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 11:27:05 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=592742
