Open Thread: Happy Chinese New Year!

February 3rd, 2011 | 7:18 am

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit, which begins Today and ends on January 2012 (lunar calendar). The Rabbit according to Chinese Astrology is a lucky sign. Rabbits are private individuals and a bit introverted. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space.

You are a Rabbit if you were born in the years of:

  • 19 February 1939 – 7 February 1940: Earth Rabbit
  • 6 February 1951 – 26 January 1952: Metal Rabbit
  • 25 January 1963 – 12 February 1964: Water Rabbit
  • 11 February 1975 – 30 January 1976: Wood Rabbit
  • 29 January 1987 – 16 February 1988: Fire Rabbit
  • 16 February 1999 – 4 February 2000 Earth Rabbit

Also a tiger (but I've found that I prefer chicken for lunch).

Occasionally wore red underpants last year because somebody here said it would bring good luck (and because there were some in my underwear drawer).  I didn't particularly notice extra good luck, unless things would have been much worse otherwise?  Anyway, now have increased scepticism about this whole tiger-rabbit-monkey business.

Rabbits

I am not a Rabbit but I sometimes go down the Rabbit Hole.

Still searching for the right brainy quote.
