But what you will find is that we have 12 star signs each covering 30 degrees of the Zodiac at roughly 1 month each per year. I would say that the month of the year you were born in i.e. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter probably has as much influence on your character and upbringing than heredity and social factors. Kids born in the late spring and spending their first 6 months in the summer tend to have a better start in life than those born in late autumn.

So you are saying that people in Australia should have different star signs?

But Taurus the sign of the bull is meant to represent stubborness, and every Taurus I know sure is that way more than pure chance would predict. And similarly with other traits. Tell me your star sign and I bet I won't be one bit surprised.

Well let me see. I am extremely stubborn...and my husband is the most stubborn person I have ever met. Neither of us are Taurus. In fact I just read his description of his star sign personality and I am pissing myself laughing.


That statement is palpably untrue, Science does not say that at all. It says there are correlations that appear to happen more often than sheer randomness and statistics would predict, and they don't have an answer for it. You have decided personally that you think it's total rubbish and total nonsense, but that is just your opinion, you don't speak for everyone else.

No, Chris, science really does say its rubbish.

You might want to look up "confirmation bias" and think how it applies to astrology.

There is a silly little routine that I do whenever friends and I go out for Chinese food. At the end of the meal I turn over everybody's tea cups, spin the cups three times with great dramatic flourish, flip the cups over and then "read" everybody's tea leaves.

I'm sure there is something to this because tea leaf reading has been around for centuries and on top of that I rarely get a "wrong message" when I read the tea leaves. In fact, Chris, I can do this over the internet and I am going to read your virtual tea leaves right now!!!

*turns over e-cup*
*spins e-cup three times*
*affects a facial expression of deep concentration, accented with a mild hint of puzzlement*

Chris, the tea leaves show that some of your digital pictures are better than others. When you are out driving around this week, you will be mildly distracted by cars with interesting features, especially vintage cars. You will be tempted by something in a pastry shop, but once you order it you will not manage to finish the whole thing. In addition, the tea leaves show me that travel is in your future.

OMG, I have such a gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The closest I ever got to a real astrologer
was at a fair once when a lady forecast that
if I cut myself, I would bleed....
Lucky for me some other person paid for that
little bit of prognostication.

In a world that believes that some kind
of super ghost made up the whole universe, I think
almost any thing could be believed......

I'll argue with all of you :-)


Is there any room in your mind to think
that you may be wrong on this one?

Trolling ...

You know what, Chris? I am getting sick and tired of your damn rudeness.

Just because you don't understand what you wrote and the implications, that doesn't mean you can call someone a troll.

I have no idea what is wrong with you lately, but you are very close to losing all your friends.


No, Chris, science really does say its rubbish.

No Es, it really doesn't, YOU say it does. You only teach it, you don't create it.

No Chris, I actually understand it. To teach something you really have to understand it. Any good teacher would know that.

Bring it on, I'll argue with all of you :-)

No, I think I'm done with you. You don't seem rational lately.

Ok. How about this? The position of the earth relative to the sun on the day of your birth has a direct effect on the outside temperature of all your future birthday parties.

Nope! Just waiting for the remaining external crunchers to come in so boinc can be removed.

It really is sad to see intellectuals failing big time in the comprehension department.
