The rest of the article was bo-ring, but this little message in his signature caught my attention. Do any of you netters out there know what the origin of astrology is? I think I remember hearing something about the ancient Egyptians, but I don't know what the true story is. I'm not convinced that astrology is totally bogus. I don't mean the astrology you get on the comic page. I mean the idea that a person's life, health, and personality are (to whatever extent) influenced by the exact time and place of his/her birth. Any astrology buffs/debunkers out there care to comment?
