    The time in space-time we were accidentally born has as much meaning as the place in space-time we were accidentally born.

      Fine, then birth months. We Aquarians will take the pool hit since we're at least 31/28ths better than the rest of you.

      Bad news. There's a #14. It's Cetus. For a fraction of a second of arc.


      You must compete for your birth sign!!!!you can’t be making it up! We can’t have TRANSASTROLOGICALS in sports!!!!!

        Well sure, yeah, if you look at it from the point of view of the athlete who actually accomplished the task and has to train long and hard to get there, with or without financial resources. But if you stop for a second to think about the hipsters at home on their couches, then we have to find a way to make it about them and how much better they are than the people actually doing things.
