Ive done more than a little study on the subject of astrological signs and it all comesdown to where and when one was born.
***pretends to push nerdy thick glasses up nose 
and adjusts pocket protector***
I was born at 6:23pm about 10 miles from where I sit now...
at 6pm anyone born on the 20th of January is an Aquarius
tho the tv guide here will invariably call me a Capricorn
astrology is pretty interesting and difficult...I couldnt figure out the math involved, had my chart done up by some computer at a store.

Well I know 3 people who were born on the 21 (which is today...in Australia)...and they're all Aquarians...
...SO would you say you're a Cap or an Aqualung 
?

Jerk Gently in The USA Posted Jan 21, 2004
Im an Aqua dude by 23 minutes
its all calculated against the distance from GMT(Greenwich Mean Time)
Im 8 hours from where not much calculatin is needed..somewhere in Europe
In Australia the time difference and latitude are all taken into account
I dont have any books on it anymore but I'd have to say You are probably 18 hours or more , away from GMT
all I realy know is the Jan 20th is a cusp date up here
if I was born there at the same time, 6:23pm, i may be a Capricorn, cant realy say tho ...I suck at math

Well the standard joke here with my sister is that (because it's her birthday today ie the 21st) she missed out on being a Capricorn by one day...
...but then I'm a Capricorn kid, so I'm bound to joke about it 
Any big plans for the big day ??
I'd call you, if not for the fact I don't have your number 
...

I tried and I failed...I think I messed up with area codes or something
...anyway, I hope you had a grand birthday !

tanzen Posted Jan 23, 2004
Alright...I might email a friend of mine (who has yank mates) to find out what the trick is
...Well I was on the phone to England yesterday ...and then I had an American friend call...but he's down here, so I don't think that counts...and tonight I'll be going to an Irish pub...
...it's all about the accents, son !
Good luck with your resume and I'll catch you when you get back !

Jerk Gently in The USA Posted Jan 23, 2004

tanzen Posted Jan 23, 2004
Wow...I have no idea how you would figure that out......I just always assume they're IBM...but I'm the poster child for technophobes ...
