The origins of "Happy Birthday to You" date back to at least the mid-19th century, when two sisters, Patty and Mildred J. Hill, introduced the song "Good Morning to All" to Patty's kindergarten class in Kentucky.[6] Years later, in 1893, they published the tune in their songbook Song Stories for the Kindergarten. Kembrew McLeod stated that the Hill sisters likely copied the tune and lyrical idea from other popular and similar nineteenth-century songs that predated theirs, including Horace Waters' "Happy Greetings to All", "Good Night to You All" also from 1858, "A Happy New Year to All" from 1875, and "A Happy Greeting to All", published 1885. However, Brauneis disputes this, noting that these earlier songs had quite different melodies.[1], pp. 12–14

Here is your next installment in crazy!
Secret black magic tones that pre maturely age us are being cast via song usually sung in a annual fashion to keep you inching closer to death while giving you warm fuzzy feelings inside.
Once the peeps at disney realized this they had to buy the rights to this aging spell that was being cast on unsuspecting people in order to harvest the souls of those that have fallen to this black magic spell of the highest order.
It is none other than the Happy Birthday Song.
I will not post it here cause i do not want to hurt you.
Enjoy your premature aging folks.

For you i can prove it. It could take a few years but be sure to get as many people as possible to sing the song to you everyday. The more you hear it the faster you will get your proof.

I think this is posted ironically. In that DeadEye heard this somewhere and just had to share it with us because of it's absurdity.
Just my thinking.

of coarse i have no definitive proof that what i am about to say is true but it is very propable that by now the majority of everything has been said and thought and it is extremely rare a person can be the first these days. While i did not make the thread as a repete of something i heard i actually did likely just rehash something.
Proof is very subjective to perspective and time and there will never be much more than a handful of things that will ever be consistently held up by everyone as being proven.
Honestly i believe that true knowing will only come through questioning everything around us and nothing is out of bounds for my imagination.
When you look at a subject and start to find supporting details then it should be looked into further even if it is overlooked and widely accepted as fact at the moment.
Could the yearly ritual of wishing every year to be older actually play a role in aging beyond what is accepted now. YES
Perhaps my point here is to show value in being more specific in things we desire with such emotion.
