Got someone else at work today all WE GOT MOVIE SIGN over the news that the Zodiac is broken.
For me, this is just one of those surreal moments when the media starts reporting something I thought everyone knew as stunning news. Dude, I learned about the way the Earth wobbles and how the constellations shifted back in eighth grade science class. I thought we all knew this already—but then, I also have to keep reminding myself that people believe the Zodiac tangibly affects their lives.
Actually, come to think of it, a lot of the morning show science news could be filed under Things I Thought Everyone Already Knew. I suppose the real question is why I continue to be surprised by this.
