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 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.

It says here that dragons have the strongest wood.

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

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:

Heradel · **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2008, 03:43:09 AM

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.)

Tango Alpha Delta · **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2008, 01:29:54 AM

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 and Doots II:The Battle; I'm waiting for corpses before I write the final chapter.
