Come on, folks.  Surely, you don't believe in that astrology garbage.  If
you do, you might want to take a look at a report on astrology in the
December 5, 1985 issue of "Nature".  A Univ of California researcher,
Shawn Carlson performed a double-blind (and scientifically valid) test
of astrology.  His conclusions?  "Astrologers who claim they can analyze
a person's character and predict a person's life course just by reading the
'stars' are fooling the public and themselves."

Let's throw a little science on some of the bs.
