I have to be into that. It's the only thing that gives me a chance to be a Wolf (Native American) rather than a Rabbit (Chinese).

Horoscopes are too tame.

For real ayurvedic spice, need to mix together zen, tarot, transcendental meditation, Club Med, nitrous oxide, cocktails, kabala, oracles, tantric sex, Kama Sutra, quantum mechanics, psychoneuroimmunology, apocalypse, 666, televangelism, PBS fund drives, civil defence, Homeland Security, etc.

OSHO ZEN TAROT The Transcendental Game of Zen

Osho Zen Tarot : The Transcendental Game Of Zen (Misc. Supplies) by Osho, Ma Deva Padma

"Rajneesh died of a heart attack in 1990 at age fifty-eight, but not before changing his name to “Osho” (“Beloved Master”), under which authorship his books are currently being marketed. His Poona ashram continues to host devotees from around the world—up to 10,000 at a time—in an increasingly resort-like, “Club MEDitation” atmosphere. Indeed, the environment currently features waterfalls, a giant swimming pool, a sauna and cybercafe, and tennis courts where “zennis” (non-competitive Zen tennis) is played."

" “Osho has become a cocktail party name,” said Sanjay Bharthi, thirty-four, a freelance graphic designer who described the Osho lifestyle as “so aesthetic, so juicy, so modern, and at the same time so peaceful” (Waldman, 2002). "

"In India the once-persecuted Rajneesh is currently the country’s best-selling author. His books are on display in the federal parliament library—an honor accorded to only one other, Mahatma Gandhi (Hamilton, 1998). "

Rajneesh fled to USA to avoid prosecution in India (on drug charges), but then was deported from USA on immigration charges in 1985. (His organization also involved in the largest biological attack on USA (Oregon) soil to date.)

Deepak Chopra's Kama Sutra

Success Cards (Deepak Chopra)
"These cards inspire you to further tap in to the metaphysical wonder of creating success and money."

Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire (synchronicity) (Deepak Chopra)
(read your tea leaves here)

Quantum Quackery
"The word "quantum" appears frequently in New Age and modern mystical literature. For example, physician Deepak Chopra (1989) has successfully promoted a notion he calls quantum healing, which suggests we can cure all our ills by the application of sufficient mental power."

http://www.csicop.org/si/9701/quantum-quackery.html

But, but... Chopra is a psychoneuroimmunologist and appears on PBS, so must know what he's talking about.

Let's see here... "Whatever has been absorbing your time and energy is now coming to an end." So either the book I've been working on will be finished soon, or I'm going to get hit by a bus...

I'd rather not get close enough to a bus to have to dodge!!!

Oh.

I'm respectively either a salmon, which spawns and promptly expires, or a horse, which promptly gets shot if it breaks one of its fragile ankles.

On the other hand, I'm a Leo, which makes up for a lot of things.

And then on the OTHER other hand, I was born on a Thursday, and I've never figured out whether the prediction that "Thursday's child has far to go" refers to ultimate destiny or the daunting length of the road.

I'm theoretically a Pisces, which always makes me laugh, since I'm about as far from the stereotypical Pisces as you can get. And I was born on a Monday, which also makes me laugh ("Monday's child is fair of face"??? yeah, right...).

LOL! I should have guessed that you were a Leo; you remind me a lot of my mother, who is also a Leo.

And, like you, my sister is a Thursday's child. I think my mother always interpreted "far to go" as the reason she struggled so in school. But it's also true that she has gone far in her life, so maybe that bit of folk wisdom intends it to be taken both ways.

I'm a Saturday's child, but I don't think I can really claim to work hard for a living. I often feel rather guilty because I don't have to work harder.

Even so, I was rather put out to find the Froma Bessel had grabbed the "satchild.com" domain name! (Not that she doesn't richly deserve to have it...)

The Shakespearean insult generator? Yes, that one's a classic!

Oh, yeah? I don't think I transferred it when I moved to my latest set of computers. I had run it a few times just for fun, but I wasn't really in the market for something to generate insults...

I guess you are talking about the old version that has a windowed UI and plays Greensleeves in the background. That doesn't seem to work in XP either, even if I set the properties to Windows 95 compatibility mode.

If you don't mind not having the music, here is a javascript-only version I found. It works just as well from your own hard disk if you download the insults.js source file that it has a link to, save the page itself as an HTML file in the same directory, and load the HTML file in your browser:

http://www-scf.usc.edu/~eichman/insult.html

The HTML and the Javascript are quite easy to understand if you want to play with it.
