Why can't they have some non-gross animal? Pigs are ok, but rats?
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Aye, I'm a sheep/lamb/goat which is, in my opinion, the worst animal of them all! Sheep is something of an insult that is used to describe a person who is led around by everyone else, (herded this way and that) and implies that that the person can't think for themselves and must have a shepherd lead them through life.

I'm a sheep. Make sense, I'm a horrible leader. But I do need details. Everything has to be described.

Apparently, I was born in a snake year. The description of that was interesting, but a little contradictory. Energetic, but lazy. :dizzy:
