Unknown said...: You can always say at least you're not Ricky Gervais.

PS I thought the zodiac was wrong because it should be based on the moon instead of the sun, so there should be 13 signs.

Or something.; 2/4/11, 12:46 PM

Yeah, I saw that. Just "Binged" the topic and found that a 13th Zodiac sign has been "discovered". It's called Ophiuchus and transforms the traditional Zodiac chart to this:

ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 - JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 - APRIL 18 ....

Obviously, "Big Charm Bracelet" is pulling the levers on this one.; 2/4/11, 1:07 PM
Hagar said...: Completely off topic, has more to do with "credentialism":

From Instapundit:
CITIZEN ACTIVIST GRATES ON STATE: STATE TRIES TO SHUT HIM UP. Get this: Citizens come up with an 8 page traffic plan presentation with diagrams and traffic projections to make their case, and the state — in the person of North Carolina chief traffic engineer Kevin Lacy — responds by trying to get them punished for “practicing engineering without a license.” Best bit: “Lacy says he filed the complaint because the report ‘appears to be engineering-level work’ by someone who is not licensed as a professional engineer.”

Stay in your place, proles, and don’t challenge your betters

The term "engineer" is not protected. The driver of a locomotive or the person in charge of a ship's engine, is quite properly referred to as "the engineer." Somewhat more incongruously, we today have "software engineers," and if your beautician or barber want to style themselves "hairstyling engineers" they are free to do so, and may even capitalize the title.

What you may not do, is to present yourself as a "Professional Engineer" (P.E.) and offer to do "professional work," such as structural design, etc., for a financial consideration. This has an obvious interest for society in protecting the public safety.

However, you may criticize Professional Engineers' designs, statements, or any other activities, to your heart's content whenever you feel moved to do so and whether or not you indeed are "qualified" to hold an opinion on the subject at hand.
This also has an obvious interest for society in protecting the public safety, beside, of course, there is that annoying little matter of the 1st Amendment and "free speech."; 2/4/11, 1:13 PM
Hagar said...: P.S.,
The most dangerous thing there is for a P.E., is to have people around him/her that won't tell him/her when he/she is full of it!; 2/4/11, 1:19 PM
aronamos said...: Hand Turkey, indeed.

This girl needs more to occupy her time.; 2/4/11, 1:25 PM
Tyrone Slothrop said...: I'm shrimp cocktail, but I knew that. I'm psychic.; 2/4/11, 1:33 PM
Peter Hoh said...: Is the bag half full or half empty?; 2/4/11, 1:42 PM
former law student said...: Is the bag half full or half empty?

There's half a taco in it.; 2/4/11, 2:02 PM
DaveW said...: It seems I'm A Novelty Bass.

...what the hell is a novelty bass anyway?; 2/4/11, 2:26 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: It makes more sense than the other one, and would probably cause less problems.

Ha! Ann - you're a bag!; 2/4/11, 4:04 PM
