Bullshit

The Chinese astrology is spectacularly wrong about one thing: the year of the bull. Consider:

1973: Oil crisis. Biggest worldwide recession since the 1930s.
1985: Recession in Singapore.
1997: Asian financial crisis. No problem with the US, but it was crap in Singapore and the region. Later on, Russia, Brazil and Argentina would catch the Asian flu.
2009: Probably another year of recession.

Moral of the story: either stop believing in Chinese astrology, or change it to the year of the bear.

nb: while I was typing this story, a bull that was hanging on the wall fell to the ground.

The end of the bull run is here to stay. Run for cover!!

Maybe that's why Dragon years are supposed to be lucky - they are the bull that comes after the mess is sorted out.
