I think you could go either way with it, although if there's a sex doll I'm likely to giggle. They always look so surprised.

No, NASA hasn’t changed the zodiac signs or added a new one
Astrology fans should realise that the star signs they love have long been out of date, as NASA and astronomers occasionally point out.
Over the weekend I started seeing links to articles claiming that NASA has changed the signs of the zodiac. I knew immediately what this was about, even as I was scratching my head about a) how this is news, and b) how short people’s memories are.
I found a few articles about this NASA “news” here and there; there’s one on Yahoo that has the headline, “Your Astrological Sign Just Changed, Thanks To NASA”. The first paragraph alone is burdened with quite a few scientific errors:
“We don’t want to be dramatic, but NASA just ruined our lives. For the first time in 3,000 years, they’ve decided to update the astrological signs. This means that the majority of us are about to experience a total identity crisis. Apparently, these changes are due to the fact that the constellations are not in the same position in the sky that they once were, and the star signs are about a month off now, as a result. To further confuse things, there is now a new, 13th sign, called Ophiuchus, which those born between November 29 and December 17 are lucky enough to have to learn to pronounce.”
Cripes. No, no, and no. First off, NASA did not “update the astrological signs”. Second, the constellations haven’t changed. And third, Ophiuchus is an ancient constellation, identified by the Greeks thousands of years ago.
So what’s the deal? Well, before we even get started, keep this in mind: astrology isn’t science; it’s nonsense. It’s been tested 10 ways to Sunday and every time it fails. Even astrologers have come up with tests for it, and it has failed those. Astrology doesn’t work.

I believe you concerning the chorus, no worries. That was just me presuming stuff, haha.
I'm quite impressed that you play live with a band. Do you play covers mostly? And from which bands? And what are your favorite stage antics?
Godin guitars are definitely more widespread than I thought. It's weird because even here in Montreal, our local artists really don't endorse them all that much. You can spot an odd Godin on stage every now and then, but as a general rule our musicians predominantly favor Fenders/Gibsons just like anywhere else. Traditions are definitely hard to break, but it's fun to see that Godin is slowly building a reputation for itself on the international market.
I also briefly checked your Chapman guitar, by the way. Very nice one, it has that simple/vintage look to it, which I love. I remember you mentioning owning a Kramer with a tiger-pattern too, do you still play with that one as well?

Very cool stuff, I never really ventured into that kind of cabinet customization.

Hello Liz.
Your cabinet is making me curious. Why does it have two different speakers?
Is it to cover a wider spectrum of frequencies? Or to create some sort of chorus?

You say my story's on Wattspad, but if you search hard enough, you'll see my story is on several different sites. I wrote it and uploaded it, and people have copied it and pasted it elsewhere.
Not getting into a plagiarism discussion on the forum. That will be dealt with in private.
I'd love to hear the explanation for the anomalies in the voting system. I think you lot are the cheats, not me.
See above.
Have you run my IP address for matches yet, Liz?
I don't 'run IP addresses'. What are you talking about?

This story is one of many examples. The bar chart clearly shows a vote of 2, yet the average score is 5. This is the case with many stories on this site. Can anyone explain this?
In regards to how the voting system tabulates scores, it seems every individual score is broken into 20% of 100, with 5 being a perfect 100%
It is then broken into groups of 20 votes, and upon receiving the 20th, the lowest score is dropped. That is why 19 5,s and a 1 will revert to a 5 overall, just as 19 5's and a 4 will. This seems to be a built in protection against outliers in the the over all score
My obversavations indicate that this pattern holds true for each group of twenty, and the auto drop readjust each time. Therefore, if you have 97 perfect 5's and no other votes, you should be able to absorb the last three votes, even if they were 1's and still maintain a 5, assuming you've now gone over 100. It should take 6 lower voted overall to erase that cushion and lower your score into the high 4.9's
This may not be correct, but I've watched it long enough to be able to accurately predict my scores track as more are added.

But it's like Jasminex just said. They'll just vote it 1 then leave a comment saying "poor".
What is the internet coming to when you can't even get away from trolls on a pleasant little site like this? It's a crying shame, it really is.
