Thread: Read about your zodiac sign!

This kind of thinking annoys me to no end. It's such a stereotype "All Aries are outgoing, lovable and spontaeneous". Where do they come up with this information, as far as I'm considered they made it up. Being born in a certain month cannot dictate your personality.

For sake of argument I checked mine; I disagree with it. I wouldn't class myself as "Aggressive" nor am I "Extremely outgoing". Also the way they pander to people ending in complimentary ideas that make people want to believe it's true.

I'm not having a rant at you Clairity, more the new-age scene where if you believe that something is possible it is; regardless of scientific fact or proof.

I don't get it... they are pretty much all the same descriptions? I mean, "great kisser" is in like, all of them.

This, like most zodiak/horoscopes, is NOT to be taken seriously!

I posted it because I thought it was funny!

Please guys don't get all twisted into knots over it!

That's how it is rigged so everyone can relate to it of course... those asains back in the day were sneaky bastards, and still are lol.



But the way Leo is described, fits me better than any of the other ones... So mine is true. Besides the liking long relationships thing (hit it ans quit it), and the LOUD one. How could I be laid back and loud? That's what it says... wtf...

Someone loves them right now. Always wants the last word. Caring. Smart. Loud. Loyal. Easy to talk to. Everything you ever wanted. Easy to please. The one and only.

The words highlighted in red are wrong about me... I'm easy going and don't need to get the last word, and I'm also quite quiet.

The Green words are just vague statements that you can't really know about yourself, and that could apply to anyone.

Do people really believe this stuff?

Heh Ive seen this on myspace before.. I read them for the hell of it. ha

"They" are the unknown people who are always quoted in stuff like this!

I would hope not!

PEOPLE PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT REAL.. IT DOES NOT DEFINE YOU IN REAL LIFE.. NO NEED TO PANIC!

Lol, just reminded me of this Gary Larson cartoon where this woman walks into this little dark room and finds this man surrounded by telephones labeled "they". She says: "So YOU'RE the they as in "they say"..."

Lol!

This reminds me: some guy at school was asked if he was aryan (as in blonde hair and blue eyes) and he replied,

"No, I'm Pisces".

I'm Capricorn.

My best friend told me that in high school, there was a guest speaker and he made everyone write down their zodiac sign and give them to him. He then gave everyone a piece of paper and asked them to read their descriptions and to rate what percent accuracy they felt it was to them. Most people rated the accuracy around 80%. He then proceeded to tell the class that all the papers were the same.

LIBRA - The Lame One
Nice to everyone they meet. Their Love is one of a kind. Silly, fun and sweet. Have own unique appeal. Most caring person you will ever meet! However, not the kind of person you want to mess with... you might end up crying.

Okay I don't know about lame, but I like to think the rest is true, I don't know though, would have to ask others if they think this is a true reflection of me. I like to think it is very close though

Almost true, however I got the promotion

Awesome, I'm MOST IRRESISTIBLE.

I like reading horoscopes and keeping the labels hidden. I relate to maybe 60-70% of the stuff, since it's either a feel-good compliment or extremely generic. I think horoscopes are great, cause you can make money off of *watches wording* careless individuals.

Now I don't believe in Astrology, but explain this to me:

Dodo and Beethoven
=============

Born on the same date.
Have the same chinese zodiak too ( wood tiger )
Both are musicians
Both have the exact same hearing condition ( otosclerosis )

Now, what are the odds for that?

EDIT: I just decided to calculate it myself, and it's about 219,000,000 to 1
crazy isn't it?

What about all the other thousands upon thousands of people born on the same day, who did NOT happen to become musicians with hearing problems? The odds of two people in a room having the same birthday are deceptively high .

Thats a good point, but if I got a 219,000,000 to 1 oddity, why don't I win the lottery!?

What you need, my friend, is an improbability drive. Actually, no, I need that. Give it back.
