Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Get Back In The Water - Neatorama

It's not some scary new species but divers wearing dragon and lion masks to celebrate the Lunar New Year at Jaya Ancol Dreamland amusement park in Jakarta, Indonesia.

According to the Chinese zodiac, it's the year of the ox, which is supposed to bring good luck and prosperity. Did you know President Barack Obama was born in the year of the ox?

From the Upcoming ueue, submitted by Marilyn Terrell.

So was Richard Nixon, and see what happened to him!

I had a rabbit that was born on the year of the pig... she ate like one too.

Heh - Seeing those dancers, my mind immediately went to the mermaids of Weeki Wachee.

Unfortunately, not to burst the astrological bubble but when your birth animal corresponds with the year, it's a bad year for you.

So, bad year for President Obama, and all oxen.

SORRY OXEN

Seriously, these embarrassing, affected, smarmy Obama fanclub messages are making this blog a boring and partisan place. Enough is enough. And astrology, chinese or not, is complete oxen waste, if you know what I mean.

@Mytake: sure astrology is silly! I like this jokey artwork on Thicket that depicts the Year of the Three-Legged Dog (Georgia), the Year of the Dust Mite (Malta), the Year of the Lightbulb (Cameroon), etc.
