Man, over 40 responses, and only 5 said that a camera flashes? I thought that one was totally obvious!

That’s because cameras have become obsolete.

I didn’t put down my own zodiac sign (Aquarius). For whatever reason I thought that the constellation should be one that I actually know how to find in the sky, and from the zodiac signs that would be Taurus. It works for my score since surprisingly few people have picked Aquarius, considering that it has the best song of all the zodiac signs.

I think the reason is that most everyday things that flash are doing it repeatedly. Like the clock on my VCR 🙂

I didn’t - I think Leo is more well-known then Scorpio.

My buggy whip can also flash if I flick it fast enough. 😃

How are cameras obsolete? Most folks carry one in their pocket at all times. With a flash.

And I’ll note that some people are picking “signs” that not only aren’t their own, but aren’t _anyone’s_. If you were born when the Sun was in Orion or Cassiopia, then I want to know what planet you’re from.

The one where we think horoscopes are bollocks, pay as little attention to them as possible and consequently have a brain fart and forget what they are 🙂

Yeah, If I hadn’t been a youngster during the “Age of Aquarius” and the subsequent '70s Zodiac woo that followed, I wouldn’t know that some constellations are special and some aren’t.
