The IMDB and other sites report that Charlie turned 50 today (or yesterday, depending on your time zone). I have my doubts, because I've always been told, by several sources, that he was born in October or November. This is an ongoing mystery that thwarts me daily and leaves me sleepless at night.

So...

If you happen to be able to verify that you're a reliable source, how about dropping me an email and solving this drama once and for all, eh? If enough reliable sources give me the same date, we'll call it truth.

Randomly: if you're an Aussie who's bought anything from ThinkGeek.com, can you drop me a line? I want to buy an item from them, but horror stories about dealing with DHL have left me bugeyed and quaking. Are UPS any better? Someone?
