3 years ago, Chinese calendar year of the cow: Mad Cow disease. 2 years ago, Chinese calendar year of the bird: Avian flu. This year, Chinese calendar year of the pig: Swine flu. Next year is the year of the cock. Anybody else worried?

LOL..... 3 year ago it was the year of the dog 2 years ago it was the year of the pig 1 year ago it was the year of the rat this year it's the year of the COW next year will be the year of the tiger by the way, there is no year of the "bird" the rotation goes like this: rat-cow-tiger-rabit-dragon-snake-horse-lamp-monkey-rooster-dog-pig

Hi wmraul, not at all, mad cow disease has been around for well over a decade which messes your theory up to start with, and bird flu has been around the block a few times too. You're a wicked scaremonger.

Did you check out all this before starting the discussion? I'm no Chinese horoscope specialist, but from what I can find on the Internet (www.love-astrology.com/category/chinese-astrology/ox/ to give an example) you have everything wrong... It says that: - the year of the Ox (there is no year of the cow...) is in 2009, not 2006 as you claim) - the year of the bird??? That doesn't exist... - the year of the boar (or pig) is in 2007, not in 2009 as you claim - the year of the rooster is in 2005, not 2010... It wouldn't hurt to check-up the information you post as being valid...

This would have been a great discussion if it were posted under the "p.e." topic, which I'm sure you know about... Here, some of the responders take it seriously (I see I'm not the only one...). We'll see what happens to all the dragons we breed for eggs in the year of the dragon.

Nope. She dumped me in 1974. Anyway, is not her who give me birth. When I was born, both my parents was gone to work and I had to born myself. Oh, there was a ugly old aunt also there but I have ignored her all the time ..

Wmraul sweetie, are you being cryptic or is that what happened? I would think it would have been pretty common.

Some parts are true . My mother really dumped me when I was 10. She run away with a handsome stroke (hearth attack) and after I never see her again .. nor the stroke, which I am happy that I didn't meet Also all other may be true, as is how I remember and I have a fantastic memory !! What was we were talking about ?

sinister theories like this do indeed have to be based on special facts (i.e.from that category which is facts you have just made up). but very scary. also you could include the fact that myxomatosis was introduced to the uk in the year of the rabbit..

Well, gossips say that myxomatosis was on purpose introduced in Australia which, after all, is an overseas extension of GB ... Funny is that same gossips say that was introduced first time in Europe in France and illegal .. France .. Paris .. Normandia .. you know, british close "friends" from east ...

if you dont know about the Chinese year rotation then i suggest u not make a fool of ur self. the chinese year rotation is based on a 12 year rotation, and it doesnt mean that Chinese people only know 12 different animals. learn ur stuff before u talk.
