Happy Birthday Jeroen! PKMN.NET's co-owner, superhero AND superbaddy is 25 today!

Jesus christ.

PKMN.NET co-owner, superhero AND superbaddy, coding person, scriber of the 21 Commandments and internet celebrity Jeroen (to use his real name), Joeno (to use his username) and Fred (to use a random name) turns 25 today. That means he's now one quarter of the way to being REALLY old. No. REALLY old. Even older than Fred Flintstone in fact.

So in order to celebrate this special day, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and look at the images that have leaked onto the internet over the past few years, detailing the past 7 years.

By the age of 18, Jeroen was already manipulating the Windows 98 source code to enable it to print out real, edible birthday cakes. Microsoft removed this feature in XP, unfortunately.

By the age of 19, Jeroen, inspired by something that has probably been done by The Simpsons at some point, started to plot taking over the world, with a complicated and ingenius plan involving placing huge coloured filters in front of the sun to manipulate the colour of everything. Here are some examples of his work to prove it.

Not happy enough with that, by the age of 20 he had successfully cloned himself.

Inspired by the scary helmet thing that always appeared on the CITV show Knightmare, Jeroen temporarily decided he didn't need a body by the age of 21, and for a few weeks temporarily became a floating head. He still won't let us know how he managed to type during those weeks. Our money's on special psychic abilities.

A boring, normal 22nd birthday for Jeroen. He had a mortal birthday and decided to break out some dance moves. I'd love you all forever if you all put this in your signatures.

At the age of 23, in an experiment gone slightly wrong, Jeroen accidentally gave himself six arms and three heads. This allowed him to code PKMN.NET v10 in approximately 4.7 seconds (allowing for the recoding of the entire Anime section after he realised he'd written the whole thing backwards), and unfortunately since the effects shortly wore off, it's taken us 2 years to check he did it all correct. Annoyingly he had.

There was no image to detail his 24th year. Either I wrote the birthday update and couldn't be bothered making one, or the more likely explanation, Jeroen decided to concentrate his abilities on making himself invisible. Just because he can, and mere mortals like ourselves can't, you understand.

And to mark the 25th ring of the Jeroen Tree, he ripped another human being out of his own soul. Someone called Peter. Apparently they're close or something. Be careful Jeroen. Social lifes are terribly dangerous things.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEROEN!
