But it's not my birthday, Arch-deacon.

Today is the feast day for Saint Wulfric.

While he was never formally canonized, Wulfric was a very popular saint during the Middle Ages, and his tomb was visited by many pilgrims. He lived in a small cell at Haslebury Plucknett in Somerset, England. When a wren nested above his bed, he slept outside so she would not be disturbed.

When a squirrel used his wooden cup to store nuts, he made himself another one. You get the picture. Animals walked all over him.

I'm expecting a rash of "Wulfric is nuts" jokes, so knock yourselves out.

Must have been a champion snorer.

But are you making it up?

Also amusing:
Found on a Harry Potter character site:
"Birth name: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore"

I am shocked and hurt that you would suspect such a thing.
I made none of it up. And neither did anyone else (as far as I know). What's more, the bit about "carbanadoes" last entry was 100% true too.
