I already knew that, but I'm a Pisces and we're naturally skeptical.
I'm resisting this knowledge as it's contrary to what I was previously led to believe. As a Taurus I'm gullible, headstrong and not terribly clever.
And Pisces are the scum of the earth.
That's okay, I'm actually supposedly a Cancer, but the name doesn't lend itself well to jokes.
Well in other languages you'd be crabs, and that's no laughing matter either.
As a Gemini, I’m of two minds about the whole concept.
