They are supposed to make good writers, critics and publicists. Famous people born in the Year Of The Rat: Ron Moody, Marlon Brando, Burt Reynolds,Ursula Andress, Englebert Humperdinck hahah so true. Both in the positive and negitave sence. The only thing a bit off is the good writer. I'm terrible at writing, in french and english. nice links lexx!

Pad Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I looked it up a while ago what character is was but now I know which qualities it represents: Monkey If you are born in the Year of the Monkey, you are very intelligent, well-liked by everyone, and will have success in any field you choose. Lucky old you! Famous people born in the Year Of The Monkey: Sacha Distel, Elisabeth Taylor, Omar Sherif, Jimmy Page, Roger Daltrey, George Lucas Not to brag or anything but I think it sounds about true. Except the well-liked part. I have many friends but also quite a few people whom I dont have a good relationship with. We either like each other or we dont.

wassup Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! Eat lots of jiaozi! HERE are some ideas for celebrating, including this one... Offer a Sacrifice to the Kitchen God - Many families have a poster of the Kitchen God in their kitchen. The custom is to offer a ceremonial sacrifice to the Kitchen God, to make sure that he gives a good report on the family's behavior when he returns to heaven. Sticky Cake (Neen Gow) is popular, or children may rub honey on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I was born in 1962, it was the year of the water tiger. not only are there 12 animal zodiac signs, but each animal also has five elements fire, water, wood, earth and metal then there are positive and negative stems, so the entire complete chines zodiac wheel takes 120 years to fully complete itself. their zodiac and astrology was first designed solely for the Emperor, it was a lunar calendar geared towards knowing when it was most favourable for him and his wives and concubines to produce offspring. the 12 animal signs are based on the order in which animals came to pay respects to Buddah. even though the cat is highly venerated in chinese culture, the cat is not one of the 12 signs because the cat was walking by itself and being aloof, and did not go to see Buddah. *anyhow i know loads more i will post later* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 If you are a true 100%, loyal to the culture Vietnamese person, Matt Windu, reply to this: Toi la nguoi viet. Neu em la nguoi viet, va khong noi lao, em se gui thu cho toi lai. Chuc mung nam hai ngan le bon moi. If you're saying "W...T...F..." after reading above, just ignore it and go off saying, "I am not truly Vietnamese as I do not know much of my own language."

Mike Windu Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 haha hobbit your right, I don't know much of my own language, my mom and dad have been trying to teach me but I can't ever pick it up that well, because we'll start off one week, then my dad skips a week, then we kinda just slack off... lmao I was going to a Buddhist temple to learn Vietnamese, but I couldn't stand it there we had no air conditioning in the 102 degree weeather... so hobbit: I will finish learning my language someday, as of now I can only speak basic Vietnamese and I can figure out the words to some of the writing if I know how to say the word... other than that... no I don't know but the parts that i can figure out of your message: you are vietnamese, if you are vietnamese, or if you are lying, i will someting something something. Happy New year something something... is that enough to prove I am vietnamese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
