Year of the Monkey

How auspicious is that?

This new year will be the ninth year in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, the year of the monkey. For what it's worth, I was born two days less then three months too early to be in the year of the monkey, as monkey-like as I may be. I'm almost ashamed of admitting I was thinking of changing my handle. I'm stuck anyway, because I gotta use a real nickname, though. As everyone ought to know, it's not a real nickname if you picked it for yourself.
