Um, two reasons.
1: 12 cards
2: I don't appear to have received it yet...

My goodness - you're as old as Voyager!

[matgb]

Well, three years older, but yeah, that is cool, and a much better birthday to share than Louis XIV or Freddie Mercury.

[matgb]

Yeah, right, you're not that old. Besides, see post icon...
