On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on February 7, 2008 — The Year of the Rat. If you were born in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 - you were born under the sign of the rat.
Like the rat, you are always busily pursuing a personal goal or ambition, and are thus known as one of the hardest-working signs in the Chinese zodiac. For rats in 2008, any recent setbacks or obstacles can be overcome, so look forward to a year in which to really shine, either personally or professionally.
James Cagney never actually said, "You dirty rat!", a popular phrase associated with him. The phrase actually originated in the 1932 film Taxi!, in which Cagney said, "Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!" often misquoted as "Come out, you dirty rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!"
Famous people born in the Year Of The Rat include Prince Charles, ice skating champ Sasha Cohen, rapper Eminem, and actress Scarlett Johansson

Great stuff, TG ! As always, your interests range widely. Love your rats, especially the one holding the cheese. Who moved mine? Tho no rat, I do chase that stuff endlessly.

Many rats are single-mindedly pursuing Gung Hay Fat Choy !! TG, are you looking for a bottom?

John Rat,
I have narrowed your birth year to 4 possibilities...
1948, 1960, 1972, 1984
hmmmm...
Thank you for your thoughts on CCJ, Zee. It is appreciated. I would love to hear more of your Option ideas more frequently, as I am wanting to dabble in those.
So, feel free to stop by more often!
:)
Brent,
I adore cheese as well! mmmmm!
Let me know what your sign is. A couple friends of mine have suggested I get involved in horoscope signs to see who would be a good "mate" for me. hehe Mate... I like that word. Mate.
Mr. Wang,
Easter?
hehe
Well, this is technically what I read:
"The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. On the Chinese calendar, 2008 is Lunar Year 4705-4706.
On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on February 7, 2008 — The Year of the Rat."
Well Mate,
I am a Scorpio and true to Scorpio tendencies, I am happy to be one. I suspect I have tailored Scorpio traits to meet my own needs, tho.
I love pop-psych but tend to ennegram identities.
