Welcome to the RANDOM CHAOS!


What the Astrology Sun Signs REALLY are!

The following chart was given to me in my 100 level Astronomy course in college. The course was taught by Stan Shadick (who writes the Skywatchers calendar every year)

Correct dates in other years may fluctuate slightly by a day due primarily to Leap Years and other effects. The major reason that the Correct Dates differ from Horoscope Dates is due to presession. Another contributing factor is that modern astronomical constellation boundries were used to arrive at correct dates.

Most Newspaper horoscopes are several millennia out-of-date!


"I'm My Own Grandpa", an excellent song, as sung by the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband on the Muppet Show in 1976.

The Lyrics ... just in case you were wondering:

Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed

Oh I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own granpa
It sounds funny I know,
But it really is so
Oh I'm my own grandpa

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him br'ther
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who was also my stepmother

Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
Because altho' she is my wife, she's my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa

(And really, the whole explaination of being his own grandpa is covered in the first verse)
