QOD: In the Chinese Zodiac, Buddha threw a shindig and the first 12 animals got a year in the order in which they arrived. One animal didn’t make the cut after being tricked by another. (This animal did manage to make it into the Vietnamese Zodiac, replacing the year of the Rabbit.) Who was this unfortunate latecomer?

Pig?

5 Point Bonus: Which animal was the trickster, who has been paying for it ever since?

Monkey?

QOD: Pass

Bonus: I'll go with the Rat, which probably means the QOD is the Cat, but I refuse to risk it.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

I can't wait to see the scores since I didn't bother to read the rules until today.

Which means I'll have zeros all the way. I think I'll just keep up the way I was doing it (i.e. more or less a stab at the QOD and bonus) so I won't mess up my "perfect score". :oops:

Oh well, I'll still learn stuff. :D

Give the Western Zodiacal sign for each of the following dates:


1. August 25 -- As it's the day after mine, it's gotta be Virgo (just like Regis)

2. May 25 -- Gemini

3. March 9 -- Pisces

4. November 10 -- Scorpio

5. August 3 -- Leo

QOD: In the Chinese Zodiac, Buddha threw a shindig and the first 12 animals got a year in the order in which they arrived. One animal didn’t make the cut after being tricked by another. (This animal did manage to make it into the Vietnamese Zodiac, replacing the year of the Rabbit.) Who was this unfortunate latecomer? -- no guess from me, wouldn't be prudent, but would love to find out

5 Point Bonus: Which animal was the trickster, who has been paying for it ever since? -- If it won't cost me anything, I will guess it's Monkey, as I'm a Monkey and I know he's a trickster (as well as a hero). If answering the bonus wrongly would jeopardize my score, I will guess nothing. (Sorry, I can't easily get to the rules from here.)

The Zodiac - ANSWERS

Give the Western Zodiacal sign for each of the following dates:


1. August 25

VIRGO

My grandma shares her birthday with Regis (as she was quite a few years before him).

2. May 25

GEMINI


3. March 9

PISCES

4. November 10

SCORPIO

5. August 3

LEO

QOD: In the Chinese Zodiac, Buddha threw a shindig and the first 12 animals got a year in the order in which they arrived. One animal didn’t make the cut after being tricked by another. (This animal did manage to make it into the Vietnamese Zodiac, replacing the year of the Rabbit.) Who was this unfortunate latecomer?

THE CAT

Women who don't want to tell their age say they were born in the Year of the Cat. In Vietnam, as well as a few other countries, I actually was born in the Year of the Cat. Ha!

5 Point Bonus: Which animal was the trickster, who has been paying for it ever since?

THE RAT

Depending on which story you hear, the rat either didn't wake up the cat in time to make the trip (because cats like to sleep) or he pushed him off of the Ox while crossing a river (why cats hate water).

This is why cats and rats/mice have been enemies ever since and the rat usually comes out on the short end of the stick.
