What????!?!?

From today's horoscope wars:
You may need to keep your spaceship idle today and perform a safety check for you and your crew, dear Libra. Make sure everyone on board is completely informed of their destination. It could be that you just picked them off the street without really telling them where they would end up. It is important that you don't drag people into your world unwittingly. If they voluntarily give up the controls to you, however, that is a different horoscope.

So, I think that the compiler stayed up too late last night watching re-runs of Earth 2.

What do you think happened here?

But -- I somehow feel that you would have no trouble dragging people into your world wittingly...

Ok, at first I was thinking your spaceship was you, your body, but then you'd have just one passenger. So, I'm not sure.

I think it's safe to say you don't want to pick up any hitchhikers. : )

I think the dog is currently flea and tick free.... ;o)

As a fellow Libran, this is so off-putting.

Maybe this has to do with why my check engine light keeps coming on.

Could be.... ;o)

Does seem like a safety check is in order.

Don't ask me. I get my horoscopes from The Onion.

And the last one that made sense was in 2006: Taurus -"Wrinkles are usually a sign of aging, but in your case they just mean you should get out of the tub."

Hmmm....that sounds almost like a fortune cookie ;o)

You have a spaceship? Cool!
I'm a Gemini. Do I have a spaceship?

And this also reminds me of my favorite lines from Red Dwarf:
"Go to Red Alert!"
"Are you sure, sir? Because it does mean changing the bulb."
;o)

Sadly, Geminis only geet those motorcycles with sidecars...

Exactly. I think the compiler just ran out of coherent things to say.

For all its flaws, I loved Earth 2.

I have it on DVD. Still pretty watchable.

The premise of that show is something I've been thinking about lately. Can humans really move into space, or onto alien planets, or really interact with aliens except in an encounter suit? We're too dependant on our universe of micro-organisms just for basic health. Dropping us into a hyper-clean or alien environment is problematical. (I put a longer post at [livejournal.com profile] displacedtexan.)

Like most series, I particularly like it for the first episode. For me, that alone is worth keeping the whole set.

Sounds to me more like someone was stuck at home during this snowstorm and the only form of entertainment seemed like a their boxed set of Firefly...

As a premise though, I am thinking that this could work.

As a fellow Libra, that is the most accurate horrorscope I ever got.

Yeah, I know there's a story in there somewhere...

I just have to say, that is fabulous. (Also, every time you say 'compiler,' I want to ask what program you're compiling...)

Crosswords puzzles have compilers too, but no one uses Fortran anymore...
