Years ago, YKWIA told me about the zodiac sign Ophiuchus. What evolved was Snake Handing Day in its honour. It's a in-joke, what can I say. Ophiuchus is a constellation in the form of a man grasping a snake, you see. But imagine my delight when Rachel Maddow discussed Ophiuchus and the 13 signs of the zodiac--and why they exist--on her show. And yes, I agree with her. I refuse to be a Pisces rather than an Aries. But I think it would be great to be an Ophiuchus.
PS Rachel Maddow is an April Fools' Day baby, so her birthday is one day off of mine. She is also six years younger than I am. Gee.
Via Joe.My.God.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

These guys have no business mucking with education
although if the South Dakota representatives are also representative of their state's education system, then it needs help, indeed--but not from them.
Astrological? Really?
One of my friends firmly believes that your ability to vote should be based on how high a degree you have. I don't go that far, but I would suggest a standard literacy, science, and geography test be given to all political candidates at the state or federal level. Hint: 'I can see Russia from my house!' is not a valid answer.
