"Baby, what's your sign?"

If you've lived much, you'll know that one of the most infamous pick-up lines revolves around asking someone what their astrological sign is...and thanks to some astronomist everything has now changed as the Earth's alignment is now different.

As my birthday is in early November, I was naturally a Scorpio.  Back in college, I decided to get a tattoo and thought long and hard about what to get.  I didn't want anything that I would outgrow so I figured my Zodiac sign was the best choice b/c hey, it was something about me that would never change.  But guess the joke was on me!

Now this Parke Kunkle guy has gone and changed everything with the addition of a 13th sign--the Ophiuchus.  According to the modified calendar, I am no longer a Scorpio...but a Libra!

How will I ever turn this...



into this???



Something tells me that I won't be headed down to the tattoo shop anytime soon to have things corrected. I'm not about to "go under the needle(s)" because some guy decided he need to change things. Or what if he changes his mind again?!  Or someone else decides he's just a kook and reverts back to the 12-sign calendar???  Regardless, I'm sure it will make for a good story when I'm that old, shriveled nursing home resident explaining to the CNA during my sponge bath that I'm not really a Scorpio even though I have the symbol tattooed on me...
