Revelation

Hmm, well this blog has already caused a minor ripple in who I thought I was. While doing all the basic setup, filling out my profile, etc, I noticed that they calculated my Chinese Zodiac sign based on my birthday.

"Great!", I thought, it'll be cool to show everyone that I'm a rabbi... tiger? WTF?!?

A little research reveals that Blogger is correct: although most representations of the Zodiac use the beginning of the western calendar as the start of the new year, the real Chinese Zodiac used years based on the lunar cycles. So, apparently, I'm a tiger. I didn't know that. Growl.
