Capricorns (random post)

OK, this is really random, but I was playing around on the web this morning and I followed a random link to information on my zodiac sign. I haven't seen a profile like this for years - and I know there is a specific someone who will get a kick out of parts of my assigned star profile - so I thought I would share with all.

According to Wikipedia (I might have done further research...), the following is an atrological explanation of the traits widely-associated wtih Capricorns, my sign. Note that no scientific research has been able to prove any correlations and remember that you can find false similarities anywhere if you are really looking to believe something. I don't usually believe in this stuff... but for those of you that know me, maybe there are some truths. Hmmm, what do you think? Resemble me? ;-)
