If you get a fortune cookie that says "2008 will be great", don't read too much into it.
the Chinese year won't be 2008, it will be 4705.
It doesn't really even matter, because the actual Chinese New Year isn't until Febuary 5th.
.. and the above jingle doesn't even rhyme in Chinese.
However, the year of the RAT is coming.

HUT HUT
I've called him a "tatonka" from time to time...it means buffalo in indian...remember dances with wolves....
HUT
here is what it said about him.
The buffalo is patient & speaks little. However, when you do speak it may be of great meaning. You inspire others to gain confidence. Although you are easy going & alert mentally & physically, you can anger easily are somewhat stubborn. The Buffalo dislikes failure & being opposed. Guard against treating love as a kind of game.

Hey Susan,
Glad you are enjoying the animals. Some Chinese people really take this stuff seriously. They will pick a mate for their kids based on the zodiac.
Here is the official Chinese site(In English)

Hey Nancy,
THe Pig is a great animal to be. MOnica is a Pig.
Here is a little about the Pig(or Boar:
Unlike the animal that Americans think of when they consider a Pig, the Chinese consider the Pig as one of the most pleasant and productive animals. They are home-lovers who put a lot of attention toward family matters. Pigs are models of sincerity, purity, tolerance, and honor.
Pigs simply want to do everything right, and have an unrelenting optimistic attitude.
Pigs are industrious in business as well as home life. They finish the projects that they begin, and do so with great enthusiasm. In business, they can become extremely successful and usually reap the financial benefits of such accomplishments.
Pigs get along well with almost everyone, and they typically have a large and varied collection of good friends. Like the Monkey, the Pig is intellectual-- a character with a great thirst for knowledge.
The Pig was such an integral part of the home in China that the Chinese character for "family" consists of the sign for a roof, under which is the character for a Pig.
If I could emmulate all those qualities I wouldn't mind being a pig. I do like family... and projects...
I'm a horse, The horse is popular, cheerful and smart with the use of money. Wise and talented, It say's I may be showy it times and although perceptive, sometimes saying to much. Large crowds are enjoyable to you. The horse is known to be impatient and hot blooded in all regards but your daily work.
Weird I think!
Marie, the horse sounds so arrogant and just so not you. I know you hate large crowds, and you're not "showy" at all, and you're not hot blooded either.
That is weird, you're not a horse.
Nancy, I thought it was weird too, It's one way or another, It Ether Describes one perfectly or completely gets it wrong.
