So, simply then, Happy Birthday.
And, if you spin in a circle a lot, it will look the words are ?oving which ?akes the? look ?uch like a ?arquee.
See, no "M" words.

But there are still other pretty things that don't involve scrolling—for example, there's a birthday background that

A common phrase is "Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag", which is literally something like "heartly luck-wish to the birthday" :)

I guess a more grammatically correct phrase would be "(I hope you) have a happy birthday". I believe the Norwegian is "Gratulen Med Dag" (probably spelt wrong - my spelling of foreign languages is dire - and I can't quite locate my dictionary)!:p

What's particularly interesting is that, although those three words exist like that in Danish too, the Google results are all Norwegian. That would imply this is a Norwegian-only phrase even though it consists of individual words that are identical in Danish. Very interesting.

We'll also be having muffins.
