Happy Birthday Angelic Lapras King if we're being correct.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

After another productive day whinging about both the Maths A Level course and Stockport buses, yours truely arrived home and, like all good teenagers, shouted at his younger siblings.

After winning 4-0 away at PSV Eindhoven on Football Manager 2007, he lumbered upstairs, switched on his laptop, suddenly realised it was someone's birthday and realised he'd better think quickly.

Super moderator Lapras King has turned 21 today, which is fantastic for loads of reasons. Lapras King can officially boast his age is a repdigit in base 4, is the smallest number of differently sized squares needed to "square the square" and is also a Motzkin number (and if that makes any sense to you, you're a better person than I am). Most importantly though, should he ever decide to move to US and A land, he can now legally get drunk. Lovely stuff.

Last year the major issue of Lapras King's birthday update was that we knew... well... nothing about him. And this year, after a year of secret coded messages sent between agents designated with the task of tracking him down and monitoring his every mood, we can officially reveal that we know... ~~nothing~~ he is actually a real Lapras capable of changing his physical form!

Exciting though, we DO have some pictures of the Lapras himself, pictured in his rare human form. Let's take a look, shall we?

Here we see Lapras King just as he reaches human form. Unfortunately the baby Lapras sitting on his back before transformation got caught up in the spell, and turned into a toy. Shame on you Anthony.

The ability to turn fellow Pokeymen into toys does have it's uses though - our dedicated spies went through hell to get this picture of what happened after a wild Bulbasaur got into a fight with Lapras King over the last WWE DVD.

Whilst here, gasp shock horror, he's taken the form of Typhlosion's best mate, who will probably kill him as soon as he realises where his picture has been posted.

And lastly, here is the man himself. Am I the only person who thinks Jack Black when I see this, despite the Daniel Craig pose?

Sorry for rambling a bit and forgetting Ant, the entire staff wishes you a great birthday.
