This thread is something like the 'How old are you' thread but i'm not interested in the ages. Instead, I would like to know which animal year in the Chinese calendar are y'all born in.
As you all know, the Lunar New Year just passed. 2004 is year of the monkey.
Years of the Rat: 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960
Years of the Ox: 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961
Years of the Tiger: 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962
Years of the Rabbit: 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963
Years of the Dragon: 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964
Years of the Snake: 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965
Years of the Horse: 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966
Years of the Sheep: 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967
Years of the Monkey: 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968
Years of the Chicken: 1993, 1981, 1969
Years of the Dog: 1994, 1982, 1970
Years of the Pig: 1995, 1983, 1971
If you are born in January, count it as the year before.
(eg: born on 3rd Jan 1987, would be the year of the Tiger)
I'm born in the year of the Tiger.

Other Side of the Monitor:  Origins of the term "flaming"

From the Jargon Dictionary
( http://people.kldp.org/~eunjea/jargon/?idx=flame )
Quote:
The term may have been independently invented at several different places. It has been reported from MIT, Carleton College and RPI (among many other places) from as far back as 1969, and from the University of Virginia in the early 1960s.
It is possible that the hackish sense of ‘flame’ is much older than that. The poet Chaucer was also what passed for a wizard hacker in his time; he wrote a treatise on the astrolabe, the most advanced computing device of the day. In Chaucer's Troilus and Cressida, Cressida laments her inability to grasp the proof of a particular mathematical theorem; her uncle Pandarus then observes that it's called “the fleminge of wrecches.” This phrase seems to have been intended in context as “that which puts the wretches to flight” but was probably just as ambiguous in Middle English as “the flaming of wretches” would be today. One suspects that Chaucer would feel right at home on Usenet.

But mine was like December 31, 8:00 1969
Hmmmmmm Maybe it was time-travelers?
Why did we both get the same IM? The only reason that the time was different is cause we are in different time zones.

BTW members, have you heard about "the Gray Moderator"?
He only posts at Headquarters forum, but can moderate any board. And, he can ban other mods! I ocasionally found him(her) at memberlist, but I forgot hisher name. Something like G_T_R or _R_GA_... Damn, don't remember.

HAAH!!!
so vuks evil twin thingy was actually the 1st member in HC!
hmm.....1969?that's that ghost thingy again!
the ghost IM was 1969 too!
That's not my evil twin, it was just my previous account... I've sent thousands of IMs daily, thus heavily damaging the system - it keeps sending those blank IMs ever since - all of my posts were deleted and I got banned - but not the normal way, oh no. There is no "banned" thingy in my profile. Changes in the code were made - changes that didn't let anyone with the slightest sign of being me post a message. And guess what! I'm not a 14 year old kid! 
Years have passed, and I've found the notebook in which I have written down all my -QPs. I decided to return. I pretended to be a nice little kido. I knew that someone would find out who I really am sooner or later - so I waited, even earned a few QPs... And I promised myself - when they find out - life on HC will change...
