Happy Birthday Skip!
Wikipedia says:The number 40 is significant in Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other Middle Eastern traditions; it can also represent a rough calculation, a huge sum of units, or simply put, a lot of something
The planet Venus forms a pentagram in the night sky every eight years with it returning to its original point every 40 years with a 40 day regression (some scholars believe that this ancient information was the basis for the #40 becoming sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims)
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL
Wikipedia has other fun stuff to say about why 40 is the new 38
