Coincidence or WTF

The other day I was looking at some stuff about the chinese new year, and pulled up the Chinese Calander. What I found made me go WTF

My father, me and my daughter were all born in the year of the monkey.

Not only that but my sister and her son were both born in the year of the dog.

Is this coincidence, genetic destiny, or just some weird WTF.

Heh, thing with my family is that I was born in the year of the Horse, but both my mom and brother are Rats. Horses are "incompatible" with Rats. >_> HURRRRRRRR.

As far as I know, chinese zodiac sign are based on the year you are born, not the month, like our zodiac sign is based on.
There are, if I am not very much mistaken, 12 signs, just like our own, with one exception: the horse comes up every 60 years (1966 was the last time it happened), where all the horses characteristics are being doubled.
In two days, the year of the buffalo will end and the year of the tiger begin. So all you pregnant women out there:
It's gonna be a tiger! 
The chinese new year and our new year do ot match, so there is kind of a offset. 2010 began on Jan 1st, year of the tiger begins on Feb 17th.
I'm a dog and my father is a dog, too.
Yeah, I think it's coincidence...

I'm a dragon, which is awesome because I love dragons.
But yeah I know the coincidence thing; I think my mother is also a dragon.

Ah, when I was younger I always wished that I had been born one year later because then I would have been a dragon. xD I adore dragons, but sadly I was born as a Rabbit. Not really my type of animal, but I've come to terms with it. The descriptions of people born under the Rabbit sign fits me really well, it's eerie.

Those descriptions are so vague, it's hard to not relate to them when it tells you you are this one...
I forget what year I was born in. Goat or something? I'unno.

Listen to this:
I'm Cancer, ascendant Lion
my mother is Lion, ascendant Cancer
my dad is Gemini, ascendant Capricorn
my brother is Capricorn, ascendant Gemini
I was born 7.7 (at almost 7 AM, huzzah!) and my brother 7.1. XD
I'm a Snake in Chinese Zodiac... Wish I was born a year earlier, then I would've been a Dragon.

My sister was born 13:37.
It's a sign!
And she's not very leet. Infact, she's a noob. I let her play on Saturo while on a Naxx. I came back, and apparently I had misdirected a retadin, and then rushed into melee.

My mother was born in 1960, making her the Rat (more specifically a Metal Rat). I was born in 1984, so I am also a Rat (Wood Rat). My father was born in 1957, under the Rooster, while my brother was born in 1987, under the Rabbit. The Rabbit and the Rooster are directly across from each other, and Rabbits and Roosters are considered incompatible (my brother and father fight all the time, but that could just be a father/soon dominance thing hehe).

I'm sure it's all just a weird coincidence, though.

Couple of months ago I checked out how this year would go for me since Tigers and Monkeys (me) don't get along all that well...
I found a website that did some pretty detailed charting. Basically, this year will be pretty bad for most monkeys, but being a strong earth monkey, it'll just be average for me.

I'm pretty sure I was born in the year of the tiger, and I'm a taurus. Tauros. ... I AM A POGERMANZ. RUN AWAY.
Anyways in all seriousness it does explain all my problems, quirks and all of such. I knew nothing about how the damned cow and tiger were supposed to act until I read up and well yeah.

ah well. I usually never put much faith/belief in things like this outside of use for fantasy elements in stories, or whatever.
