	To my knowledge, astrologers persist in using astrological
	charts that are completely out of date!  According to Carl Sagan,
	(a relatively reliable source) since the original definitive
	zodiac was defined, the sun-signs have shifted a full house! 
	In other words, don't believe this "if you were born in
	October, you're a Scorpio" bullcrap.  But, as Sagan says,
	the astrologers haven't seemed to notice.

	On to other matters.  I believe that the first few months
	of an infant's life are crucial in the development of the
	personality of the individual.  Therefore, the SEASON you
	were born in probably has an influence on your personality.
	Notice that I say influence.  This is not the major factor.

	However, It should be possible with the modern techniques
	(i.e. computers and all that) to devise a psychological 
	profile questionnaire to attempt to SCIENTIFICALLY determine
	how much of an influence your season of birth affects you.

	I would assume I'd need to find a good psychologist to help me
	set up the questionnaire.  I think I could handle the computation
	and statistical analysis.  Any volunteers?  This looks like it 
	could be an idea for a best-selling non-fiction novel!

	(PLEASE NOTE: I am serious about this.  A copy of this message
	 will be notarized and If any of you publish a book based on this
	 I'll sue your fanny off.)
