Hmmm, Taurus and Leo have been guessed a good bit. Maybe I am one of those?

lol. i think it would be taurus though... or virgo... i don't know!!!!! lol

I guess that's about as far as the guessing would get, so I'll tell you. Man, I am starting to get skeptical about astrology. The only person who even mentioned my sign was Kichu.

I'd say it's between Aquarius and Sagittarius. If I had to pick one..I think Aquarius.

And the answer is...

I WIN!!!! I WIN!!!!!

Now everyone go vote for me in the elimination game.

So....what did this prove UM?

Actually, it is kind of weird, isn't it? I took a couple clues about your personality from previous posts, matched them to the description of your astrological sign and it pretty much matched up. It really was a close call. I just went went with the other because I had to pick one.


Hmmm......k, I wanna try again. Who's sign should I guess? Any volunteers?

That astrology is a crock of shit.

I would say guess mine but I have said what I am already. Besides apparently I was born on a cusp or something.

But I pretty much guessed it, didn't I?

Gimme another one!!

But all of the other guesses were wrong. It just means that you are the psychic master.

Okay, without Googling it, try to guess George W. Bush's sign.

Did all of the other people research it the way I did, or were they just random guesses? If they were random, that proves nothing. But the person that put some though into it, got it right. Pretty much. I think this is worthy of further investigation.

And I AM the psychic master! True story.

I love Saturdays with nothing to do but focus on stupid stuff.

Well, I hope they tried to give informed guesses. That was the idea of the thread. If yours was the only one, then... I know that some of the people in the thread think astrology is for real.

I'll drink to that.

That astrology is a crock of shit.

Naturally I know that astrology is a pile of bollocks because I have no severe mental retardation, but this is the worst 'proof' of it I've ever seen, you must realise that.

Virtually nobody in this thread took this seriously, we either guessed or called you a virgin. I doubt anyone here is an astrologer or looked up an astrology table or anything like that. And you don't know anything about the people who got it right.

This guess was made by someone who definately knows what astrology is about

My guess would be a Leo... but

I think it proved, judging people over the internet is quite a tough game...

No physical, vocal contact. Nothing but typed words on the internets...

Why bother correlating Astrology and severe mental retardation? Kinda childish.

It is only a pile of bollocks because you have no real understanding of how it works.. It does work and always has worked, regardless of your opinion of it.

And a guess was all it was, I hardly consider myself having spent enough time around Universal Mind to even have a minute understanding of his personality traits. Especially since all the time was spent online, reading a few posts. It's such an impersonal way to communicate. P.S. I hardly consider myself an astrology expert, I have tons of more research and understanding to integrate into my knowledge.

I bow to your immense knowledge, Sir Mental-Retard-Who-Also-Happened-To-Incorrectly-Guess-Leo PhD.

I love the phrasing you used though. It's almost as if you wanted to leave yourself completely open to being completely raped;

Why bother correlating how good or bad your day was with the motion of a lump of rock in space you can't even see? Kinda childish.

Mental retardation is a serious disease that affects thousands of people throughout the world. That was my point, correlating something people can't help and belief or understanding in something are completely different.
I have family members that work with the mentally handicapped and really your attitude is just disrespectful and degrading.

I don't really care if I'm open to attack, I have no fear of your opinions of me.

It's only childish because you refuse to believe it or to understand it, everything isn't up their by chance.. That is all, all the ancient civilizations had an understanding of the power of the stars especially the Mayans who happened to have a more accurate calendar than we have to this day.

Uh no they didn't. They didn't even have kinematics.

Please explain what you understand by astrology and why it would work.

I WAS RIGHT YAY!!! wait... crap. nevermind...

I didn't say it proved that astrology is a crock of shit. I said it was "supposed to". There weren't as many guesses and explanations as I thought there might be. Moving in the direction of good proof was the idea. However, the week this thread was up before I revealed my sign did give a pretty strong suggestion of the weakness of astrology, wouldn't you say? A week on a board where a lot of people know about and believe in astrology (I've been here a lot in the past 4 1/2 years.), and look at the result. Yes, that is a significant suggestion. Be intellectually honest and have something to criticize about that since you think only retarded people believe in the significance of astrological signs.

Plus, nobody got it right. So what did you mean by "the people who got it right"? Kichu was the only person who even posted the word, and it was her backup guess. You don't read posts very carefully, do you? You need to work on that.

Keep following me around this site like an angry puppy with a bone to pick. I think it's hilarious.

Perhaps finding out what traits each sign is supposed to give you, and then creating a new thread with premade cut out questions to be asked, and then given the answers you could use the answers to predict what their sign "should" be.

Of course the whole factor of age affecting you by who you are forced to associate in school. (at very young ages a four or five months difference can make a large difference, and will then affect your personality based on that. Old kids watching younger kids, younger kid watching older kids, the ones inbetween thinking things like...wtf?).

Moving in the direction of good proof was the idea.

Well, you failed. Don't do science.

Woah, someone's got a bit of an ego..?

I wonder how you think it possible to pick up nuances in someones personality without even ever meeting someone face to face...

Mayans knew how many days in a year way before the rest of civilization was key to that info..

If you think it's as easy to explain that is where you are wrong.
