I always knew about year of the snake and such in Chinese astrology, but I didn't know the extent of it until I saw this Wikipedia link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_astrology#Table_of_the_sixty_year_calendar) in the PC003 comments thread.
I'm year of the Dog (Yang Metal or Metal/Gold depending on the calandar)
I'm lunar month of the Dog (Metal)
My secret animal is the Dog
I guess an ex-girlfriend of mine was right when she said I'm a dog.
-
Wood Dragon, which makes the whole fire-breathing bit very personally dangerous.
-
My secret animal is the Dog
Not so secret any more, Dr Jones!
-
My sign is "Bridge Out".

It says here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_astrology#.E6.9C.A8_Wood) that dragons have the strongest wood.
*giggle*

It just blows my mind that everyone born in the same year as me has the exact same personality traits...strange.

AW SHIT!

Ha! First thing I did after listening to that story was google Chinese astrology. I'm a metal dog, as well, but I didn't see all the lunar and secret stuff on the site I checked out. I can definitely tell you that according to the description of a Metal Dog, I don't fit the profile at all!

According to the place mat at a local Chinese restaurant; I, my mother, and her mother were all born in years of the dragon.('76, '52, and '28)
I've no idea if there is any significance to it; but, it just seemed odd.
Grandma always has seemed a bit dragon-ish. ;)

Actually, I want to amend my statement. This one suits me better:

My dad has a photo that apparently only exists in meatspace of the sign on a grocery in Havana that says: "Sorry, we ar open".

Few websites make me laugh as much as this one does.
so I can say I'm sorta on topic;
Year: Boar
Lunar Month: Fiery Horse
Secret animal: Horse
I'd never seen the lunar months and secret animal thing before. I'd only seen the year before, and I've never felt like a boar.
(Maybe I shouldn't say anything, but I keep waiting for this thread to explode with barnyard puns too.)
-
Yang Water - combined with wood - Rat; inner Dragon; secret Rat
I suppose that explains why the mice won't go into the friggin' traps. >:(

Hopefully they got that out of their system in the sheep thread. And the boat thread.
I love that site too, though it's been a while since I've been around.

Livetraps? Try peanut butter on a cracker, works for me every time.

Apparently I (and everyone born the same year as me) am a yang metal monkey, the strongest kind of metal. And here I thought the strongest metal was Adamantium. It turns out my birth month is also metal monkey, so I am metal monkey squared. My secret anmial is a Tiger. Beware the metal monkey squared tiger! It sounds like of Godzilla's nemesis.

We've tried everything... we're considering some crazy Rube Goldberg shyte at this point.
Tubes with electrodes.... bait dangling over vat of hydrochloric acid...
They ignored the peanut butter (pooped next to the pb-trap, and went for the bar of soap on the bathroom sink).
I have posted the story as it unfolds: Doots (http://tadshappyfuntime.blogspot.com/2008/03/dog-blog-doots.html) and Doots II:The Battle (http://tadshappyfuntime.blogspot.com/2008/03/dog-blog-doots-ii-battle.html); I'm waiting for corpses before I write the final chapter.

Hell's yeah. My youngest still played it until recently, when he lost a piece and that did the mousetrap in. A mouse probably ate it.

Best bet is to take off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

They might not notice the radiation off the bat either.

There you go. Radiate all of the mice and them track them by the glow. Or you could use them as night lights.

No, we don't *have* bats... so far, it's just the mice.
-
Maybe the mice are bats. They just hide their wings when you're around.
-
So are bats actually vampire rats?
-
You don't have bats now, but the radiation could mutate the mice into bats. Glowing, flying mice. Terrifying.

I have zombie mice now... they weren't zombie mice a week or so ago when I put down little delicious mice treats for them from "Chez D-Con". Now they no longer skitter through walls but simply hang around smelling REALLY terrible.
:(

Glowing radioactive flying zombie mice... that would be a fun for a little flash piece.

So you're saying the key to zombification is D-con? Interesting...to the laboratory!

I guess if you figured out what to add to reverse the process, it would become "de-D-con"?

I cure zombie mice...

Just found this thread and wanted to thank you all for making a tedious day at work so much more fun.
BTW, the Zombie mice would fit perfectly in my entourage, I think.
I am a Fire Dragon (I know, kind of contradicts the cuddlebug) and I could use a few Zombie mice to take care of my lair. Will ensure their safety, since I only eat virgins, they will not be used for sustenance, promise. (Won't taste that great anyway, I guess?)
Actually, I am not sure the Chinese Horoscope makes much sense for me, ok, the description of a fire dragon seems fairly accurate, but I doubt that everyone born the same year as I am can have 'similar' personality traits, that just seems too simplistic too me. But the interesting thing is that all kinds of horoscopes and personality tests (such as the MBTI, picture personality tests and different quizzes and applications on Facebook etc., ... yes, I have too much time to procrastinate) seem to come up with the exact same results. So maybe there is some underlying truth in them?

Great! I'm an Ox.
NONE of the descriptions suit me! An Ox is calm, patient, conventional, resolute, narrow-minded, demanding..
Me, I'm none of that. With my ADD I'm never calm nor patient, I'm so broad-minded I never know what I want, so don't call me demanding or resolute. However, I am stubborn, logical and modest (the most modest girl alive! LOL), but I think that's because I'm a Capricorn.
So, I'll stick to Capricorn and forget the Ox element in me. Or maybe I need to work on my Ox. It must be a sign. Chinese astrology is telling me something...
