Spike Milligan

Today would have been Spike's 86th birthday.

Happy Birthday, Spike!

Umm... I don't know who Spike Milligan is. What am I missing out on? :?

In this case I believe that one of Spikes own quotes would be suitable.
When shown an ancient artifact and informed that it was a million years old his response was:...."Happy Birthday to you!"
