You seem to be missing the point.

>scientists must accept the less satisfying explanation that foraging through databases using contrived study designs in the absence of biological mechanistic data sometimes yields spurious results.
Same thing happened with that Salmon study. The point is not that Zodiac signs are actually predictive of success (or dead Salmon show brain activity), but that inappropriate research methods can lead to false positive results.

>Whoa dude, this reminds me of something I discovered recently related to evolution:
>The main story people want us to believe is that 4-6 million years ago, humans didn't exist, and that we had a common ancestor with a chimpanzee.
>They say that this "wan't a chimp" but that it also "wasn't a human."
>So that means it would have to have features of both. The problem is, chimpanzees don't have features of both, and humans don't have features of both.
>If humans and chimps don't have features of both, then how could the common ancestor have features of both?
>That means either humans evoluved from chimps, or chimps evolved from humans.
>Obviously since humans are more advanced than chimps, the humans must have "evolved" from chimps.
>However, if chimps evolted into humans, then how are there still chimps? According to evolution, birds evolved from dinosaurs, therefore there are no dinosaurs left.
>If humans evolved from chimps, then IT MAKES NOT SENSE FOR THERE TO BE ANY CHIMPS

The influence of the Chinese zodiac on fertility in Hong Kong SAR

Despite the long-term downward trend, short-run increases in the annual total of births and the TFR were exhibited. Such temporary fertility increases are identified in the Dragon Years of 1988 and 2000

Please, Please, Please be joking.

Can confirm. I'm a leo and will never win a nobel prize.

>>8346774
Gemini masterrace surely is. Can confirm. It will happen.

At least when I do not receive a Nobel prize it won't be my fault.
