    Im kind of convinced some people just really study character archetypes, and throw them together and get lucky by chance that they work. 6 billion people in the world gives you good odds of matching someone

    You've always been above petty sibling squabbles, but that was before your brother started getting preferential cancer treatment.
    Sounds about right.

    This is basically the Barnum or Forer Effect. You take vague descriptors that could be considered 'true' by a large group of people and pass them off as predictions or assessments. Its basically how astrologers and people like John Edwards make their living - 'I can sense someone very close....does anyone have a family member, male - maybe female, that recently passed on and name began with a B or maybe a C. They may or may not have loved you and they wanted to tell you something that regardless of its content you will accept - oh and they said that you should buy a John Edwards baseball cap cause its machine washable and fits most heads'

    I poke fun at a friend that reads his day's horoscope at night. "Checking to see how your day went?"

    Horoscopes are totally real. It makes total sense that 1/12th of the world will have the same exact kind of day as you.
