Random Fact You Probably Could Have Done Without

Did you know...

So my buddy, let's just call him 'P', tells me something pretty interesting the other day.

So someone in P's family owns a famous fine dining restaurant in New Delhi's Select Citywalk.

Apparently their (and almost every other restaurant's) waiters are trained to put more food on the plates of kids than adults.

This is because usually, kids eat less than adults. And no self respecting parent would ask a waiter to not give their kid so much food. So you use up more food and they get more business! o.O

I should have brought an umbrella

Sheldon : "I should have brought an umbrella."

Leonard : "What for? It's not going to rain."

Sheldon : "I know that, but with skin as fair as mine, moon burn is a real possibility."

Howard : "That's a Bazinga, right?"

Sheldon : "One of my best, don't you think?"

What's your Rashee!?

The horoscopes in the newspaper tell me I'm an Aquarian which means when i was born, on 9th February, the Sun was in the constellation of Aquarius, the water carrier, and it was but only over two thousand years ago, when the system of astrology was developed. In the 2000+ years since then, the earth’s axis has moved, kind of like a wobbling top and now, in 1992, the sun was not in Aquarius, but in Capricornus. So now im a capricorn?

In fact, the sun is now one zodiac behind where it’s “supposed to be” according to the astrologers. So if you think you’re a Virgo, you’re actually a Leo and if you were born between 17th November and 17th December, you’re neither Scorpio nor a Sagittarian, you’re actually an Ophichan. Yup, 2000 years worth of wobbling of the earth’s axis means there’s now 13 zodiacs and not 12.

If you want to run your own simulations and see where the sun was when you were born, point your browsers to www.stellarium.org and download the free software, plug in the date of your birth, and look for the Sun and see which constellation it’s in.

Makes you think twice before believing in a system which can’t even get its basic organization right, doesn’t it? and that, along with their other bull crap is why us astronomers get mad when you call us Astrologers!

And NO I WILL NOT READ YOUR PALM
