Crafting birthday greetings year after year can feel like searching for new words on an old typewriter—eventually, you fear you’ll just keep hitting the same keys. Here I am, about to write another one, this time for a stunning 110th birthday, and I dread falling into the well-trodden path of clichés. The solution? Harnessing the power of ‘110’ and its unique characteristics. Take the fact that the Empire State Building has 110 floors—a piece of trivia that immediately sparks a vision of strength and standing tall. Just like this iconic building, a person celebrating their 110 birthday embodies resilience and history, making a perfect anchor for a personalized and genuine birthday message.

Interestingly, the challenge in crafting unique birthday wishes was not so much the writing but finding facts related to the elusive number 110. I scoured dictionaries, trivia pages, and old magazines—the larger the number, the scarcer the mentions. Eventually, after peering through seemingly endless lists and dusty book pages, the treasures shone through. Here’s what I found: 1. The one hundred and tenth Nobel Prize ceremony honored John Clauser, Alain Aspect, and Anton Zeilinger for their pivotal role in the development of quantum information science.
2. The Empire State Building in New York City, with its iconic 110 floors, was the tallest building in the world for nearly 40 years and remains a beloved symbol of the city.
3. Phase 10 is a rummy-type game with 110 cards, including wild and skip cards.
4. The 110th day of the calendar year is April 20, which is Look Alike Day. This day is dedicated to celebrating people who share a striking resemblance to one another.
5. “110th Street” by Bobby Womack is a soulful track that tells the gritty story of life on the streets, blending social commentary with a timeless groove.
6. Card 110 in the Alpha set of Magic features a spell that allows the player to control an opponent’s creature, using it against them in battle.
