"Many happy returns to Ozzy Osbourne, who turns 65 today (December 3). Digital Spy marks the Black Sabbath star&amp;#039;s big day with 15 of our favourite pictures and anecdotes. Bat biting, ant snorting and some interesting hairstyles follow below: 1. Like father, like son - and both equally as terrifying  2. Shark! Black Sabbath&amp;#039;s Tony lommi claimed that while Ozzy Osbourne was high on drugs, he once dragged a dead shark into their hotel room, dismembered it and soaked the walls in its blood.  Iommi is quoted as saying: &amp;quot;With drugs always you get bored, so you must do something to one another. Like Ozzy hauling a shark through a window, dismembering it and soaking our room in blood.&amp;quot;  We believe it - but where on earth did Ozzy get the shark? Rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll! 3. Love&amp;#039;s young dream and its matching mullets  4. Ant-eater While Black Sabbath were on tour with Motley Crue in back in 1984, it&amp;#039;s alleged in the band&amp;#039;s autobiography The Dirt that Osbourne begged Nikki Sixx for a line of cocaine. When the news was gently broken to Ozzy that there wasn&amp;#039;t any, it&amp;#039;s further claimed that he opted for the nearest replacement - ants.  Sixx recalled of the alleged incident: &amp;quot;From that moment on, we knew there was always someone who was sicker and more disgusting than we were.&amp;quot; 5. Two feet in the grave  6. The emperor&amp;#039;s new clothes One of our personal favourite Ozzy Osbourne tales was the time when Sharon Osbourne took extreme measures to prevent Ozzy from leaving his hotel by hiding all of his clothes. This later backfired when Ozzy instead left the building in one of her outfits, and then relieved himself on the Alamo Cenotaph - the monument of Texan independence. Speaking about that moment of intoxicated madness, Osbourne has since said: &amp;quot;I can honestly say, all the bad things that ever happened to me were directly, directly attributed to drugs and alcohol. I mean, I would never urinate at the Alamo at nine o&amp;#039;clock in the morning dressed in a woman&amp;#039;s evening dress sober.&amp;quot; 7. One for the Osbourne family album  8. Ozzy recalls his time in prison Back in 1966, Ozzy Osbourne was arrested for burglary and spent six weeks in Birmingham&amp;#039;s Winson Green Prison. Reflecting on his time inside, he said in autobiography I Am Ozzy: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d survived prison without being arse raped or beaten to a pulp.&amp;quot;  9. Sombre, yet stylish and 100% sexy  10. The infamous bat incident In 1982, Ozzy infamously (yet accidentally) bit the head off a bat thinking it was a toy. He later revealed in the booklet to the 2002 edition of Diary of a Madman that following the incident, he had to be treated for rabies.  Describing the horrifying moment in his memoirs, Ozzy said: &amp;quot;Something felt wrong. Very wrong. For a start, my mouth was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid, with the worst aftertaste you could ever imagine. I could feel it staining my teeth and running down my chin. Then the head in my mouth twitched.&amp;quot; 11. Ozzy just before he picked up the Celebrity Dad of the Year award (possibly)  12. Two little birds... Ozzy Osbourne signed a solo record deal with CBS in 1981, and upon entering the meeting with record label bosses, he was expected to release two doves, reportedly at the suggestion of wife Sharon. Instead, it&amp;#039;s claimed that a drunk Ozzy pulled one out of his pocket before biting its head off. 13. A family outing at the Kerrang! awards  14. Back to reality The Osbournes reality TV show was launched on MTV in 2002, and it remains one of the most-viewed shows on the music network. Nearly seven years later, Ozzy&amp;#039;s wife Sharon confirmed to BBC Radio 2 that he &amp;quot;wasn&amp;#039;t sober for one whole day&amp;quot; during filming. Which might explain a few things...           15. Ozzy misses his mouth, but only just  Happy Birthday, Ozzy! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
