August 15, 2001 | Issue 37•28

Aries March 21 - April 19

If you put too much gasoline on the bandanna over your face, you'll get sick. Not enough and you'll be able to smell the corpses. Strike a balance.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

Next time you find yourself in a hostage situation, take a hostage people care about.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

You will be unable to cope with next Friday, mainly because our society does so little to prepare one for encounters with scary dragonflies.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

Your much-publicized solo circumnavigation of the Earth hits a snag when you learn that "circumnavigation" means "to go all the way around."

Leo July 23 - August 22

Today's youth sickens you. You didn't fight a secret war against the nuclear mole people at Earth's core so they could wear baggy pants and swear.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

It will occur to you that no one in the phone book has a realistic-sounding name. Change them all, if possible.

Libra September 23 - October 23

Children are a way to achieve a kind of immortality, as recipients of their healthy young organs can extend life beyond its natural span.

Scorpio October 24 - November 21

The stars indicate, without actually saying it in as many words, that they really wish you'd be leaving pretty soon.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Your attempt to reach civilization by fashioning a crude raft will astound everyone else at the office.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

The only peace for you will be the cold, dark peace of the grave. Fortunately, there are ways to enjoy this peace before actually dying.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

Though it's true you have a face that could stop a clock, you will soon meet someone who can throw a clock much harder than you're used to.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

You have not learned from the history of insignificant little people who work at insurance companies and are, therefore, doomed to repeat it.
