I'm sure that there is some other discussion thread on here that has been hijacked and turned into a "Happy Birthday Terzaghi" thread, but I thought that I would start an official one...

So Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! I still don't know how to pronounce terzaghi!

And a belated happy birthday to you as well, nickbuol!

H'Bday

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, David!!

You'll have to include a phonetic pronounciation guide for "terzaghi". Otherwise we resort to calling you other names. . .

Happy Birthday David!!!

I'm all out of snappy remarks for today so you will have to settle for a genuine happy birthday wish.

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes!

Terzaghi is pronounced:

Ter-za-gee

ter- (like "turd" without the d)

za- (like "awe" with a z in the front)

ghi- (like "geek" without the k)

Now please refrain from calling me turd-awe-geek.

Karl von Terzaghi (whom I stole the name from) is known as the father of soil mechanics, info here:

Happy birthday, Turd-Awe-Geek!

Cheers!

I never really spent much time concerning myself with Soil Mechanics before. I love to learn!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, gravity-defying pig guy!

And yet another Happy Birthday, David!

Thanks again everyone for the birthday wishes!

This forum is really a great place to hang out!

Happy belated birthday.
