39 Turns 93

By Sniffles

President Carter once said that he'd like to outlive the guinea worm. On this, his 93rd birthday, it looks like he just might. The number of guinea worm disease cases worldwide is down to 10 — all in Chad. (In case you're wondering, it started at 3.5 million in 1986 when The Carter Center began its eradication campaign.)

Way to go, Jimmy! And happy birthday. We cats PURR.
