Horoscopes
Horoscopes are fascinating. Not for the advise they give, it's all vague meaningless waffle. But they something fascinating and bizarre about this culture. We produce something nobody takes seriously, for no readily apparent reason. What is their appeal? Do some people secretly believe their horoscope? Do some people just like to see them and feel superior to such hypothetical persons? Is it just a tradition so firmly ingrained we just don't question why we do it any more, like birds flying south for the winter? Will we ever move past them? Why do we create pointless things? I suppose there's no answer to these questions, but it's interesting how bizarre a lot of ordinary things are.
