@TheLogic1010 lol astrology as as real as pamela anderson's tits

[Blake4014]

Good, another silly superstition discredited.

Of course, psychics of all stripes and colors know that they're bullshitting people. That's why the guy was dodging Dawkins when he offered to put his claims to the test using the scientific method.

@GraceGlenmore Still shit though

[GraceGlenmore]

People need to stop comparing Tropical astrology to Sidereal, and also real astrological readings done by an astrologer to 3-sentence newspaper articles written for a deadline. Real astrology charts are highly detailed, not as vague as most people think it is.

@gureyful There is no scientific definition of a pseudoscience so your opinion of astrology is purely emotionally driven. It would appear that you don't do any serious reading of the subject. Palmistry is taken very seriously by the medical profession, especially the length of fingers. Astronomy was born from astrology by the way! So what other bright ideas have you got to share you tube with?

Hey! I've always reckoned astrology is bunk, and I can't understand why so many people think it has something to offer, but what I really liked on here is to see the Winds tower at Oxford, always wanted to visit that. Really distinctive building and as iconic as the Radcliffe Camera (I think!).

i am very interested astrology & palm reading but the truth they are both pseudo science .men should read the really science like astronomy because you get more advantage instead of reading some thing that based on superstition & bla bla bla!!!

@FunnyVideoCollector hahah yeap, that's so true. actually that happened to a friend of mine, i laughed so hard that day.

Sitting between two friends at a bar, I straightened up the dirty plates on the table. They both eyed me sideways as I did then looked at each other. One asked, "Pisces?" The other answered, "No. Gemini." The first replied, "Oh, now it makes sense." Oh course, I thought. Now that you've been TOLD my sign, my personality trait makes sense according to that sign. Of course when I called them out on the wrong guess one said, "It doesn't work that way."
