Earth Dragon- (If you're born within specific dates in the chinese new year, you're also given an elemental sign to augment your animal zodiac. Check Wiki for the dates and such, I dont feel like posting.)

 

Earth is one of the five elements of the Chinese tradition. It is associated with the planet Saturn and the colour yellow, and lies at the centre of the compass in the Chinese cosmos. It is believed to govern the spleen and stomach. It is associated with the qualities of patience, thoughtfulness, hard work and stability. Other attributes of the earth element are ambition, stubbornness, responsibility and long-term planning. In pathology, the earth can represent selfishness and self-centeredness. The element earth plays an important role in Chinese Astrology and in feng shui , the Chinese form of geomancy.

 

The Dragon is omnipotent. He/she is flamboyant, attractive and full of vitality and strength. In China, the Dragon is the sign of the Emperor of China or the male element Yang. The Dragon is the symbol of power and wealth.

 

It would be right to say that people born in the year of the dragon have a natural charisma and are certainly gifted with power and luck. It is unlikely for them to escape unnoticed from a party or to take second place in a competition. The dragon person has an active mind and shows an unfeigned interest in the world around him/her. This person is also self-confident enough to know how to create a necessary impression. Because they are larger than life themselves, dragon people like to do everything on a grand scale. They are egotistical and ambitious, almost to the point of megalomania, and will stop at nothing to get what they want. A person born in this year wears the crown of destiny, and is capable of great achievements if he or she knows how to harness his or her tremendous energy, intelligence and talent. While these people enjoy being the center of attention, they also have a brave and charitable side to their personality. If a dragon's friend faces a problem or dilemma, he or she will be there to offer help, and when others leave the field of battle the dragon takes a step forward to solve the problem with authority and dignity. Dragons set a high standard of actions for themselves as well as for other people and are surprised when others cannot cope with a task; they are so carried away by the process that they fail to see other people's weaknesses.

 

Their faults can be as large in scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative Dragon can be one of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of temper. If jealously suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and trickery to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for flattery, boastfulness, and bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant disdain of underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the carrying out of minor details in their grandiose schemes, and from whom they are not above borrowing immoderately if an occasion necessitates it. Any of these can be characteristic of the Dragon. Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power, unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence, and a character emerges that no one would want to know either in public life or private. But their pride may go before a fall, as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low. Fortunately it is rare that a Dragon is so undisciplined as to give way thoroughly to this list of vices, and their tendencies to them are usually balanced by an innate wisdom. Those who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence it takes to consciously and actively overcome them.

150px-Oxen.svg.pngThe Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.

 

Ox people need peace and quiet to work through their ideas, and when they have set their mind on something it is hard for them to be convinced otherwise. An Ox person has a very logical mind and is extremely systematic in whatever they do, even without imagination. These people speak little but are extremely intelligent. When necessary, they are articulate and eloquent.

 

The Ox is not extravagant, and the thought of living off credit cards or being in debt makes them nervous. The possibility of taking a serious risk could cause the Ox sleepless nights.

 

Ox people are truthful and sincere, and the idea of wheeling and dealing in a competitive world is distasteful to them. They are rarely driven by the prospect of financial gain. These people are always welcome because of their honesty and patience. They have many friends, who appreciate the fact that the Ox people are wary of new trends, although every now and then they can be encouraged to try something new.

 

It is important to remember that the Ox people are sociable and relaxed when they feel secure, but occasionally a dark cloud looms over such people and they engage all the trials of the whole world and seek solutions for them.

This thread was starting to remain on one topic and we can't have that!

 

On the Federal tax return, there is a box you check "If Blind." What kind of a sick joke is that??!

I think this is the first time I've ever seen A9 recommend we continue to stay off topic. Even though the topic was the Lunar New Year.

Anime is creepy. Proof:

 

Angel Sanctuary is one of Kaori Yuki's most celebrated works. Among other things, it discusses the morality of incestuous relationships, the nature of God, and other philosophical topics. ~ Wiki

Anime is creepy. Proof:

 

Anime is what you make it. Sure, there's a prevalence of fuku-clad, undergarment flashing, large-bosomed schoolgirls, but what it does is makes us look at how we react to other people, and our selves. Look at the seminal anime Space Battleship Yamato, or how it was marketed in the States: Star Blazers. Besides being a space opera (this is the 70's; large chested anime babes are 20 years out), it's also a human drama, focusing on our human frailties and our drive to overcome and survive as a species, while not glossing over the death of main characters.

 

And I will freely admit that there is that disgusting, cutesy feel-good merde[/] like Pokemon, Digimon, Hamtaro, etc.; but there's something for everyone. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, adult-oriented, comedy, drama, sentai, mecha, magic; find a genre and enjoy!

 

 

 

This is what happens when you're stuck in McGhee-Tyson Airport for six hours, because your flight was overbooked. :( :blink: ;) :P

What is the ultimate numerical equation... :blink:

 

It's either the value of Pi...

 

Or the formula for the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.

You ceratinly nailed two of my favorites. The guy who does the 'Vash The Stampedes' voice is in a new serious called 'Bleech' if you're intersted. I think the kid who voiced the boy on that Tri-Gun sand train thing is in there as well. Bleech even does the Tri Gun random act of superb quality drawings with a healthy does of my gosh I could draw better than that.

e^(i pi) = -1

 

It connects two universal constants, the imaginary numbers, and the real numbers. :-)

It is so family members can fill out the tax return for the blind person. Blind people do not have to pay federal taxes but they do need to have someone fill out the forms.
