The Chinese New Year fell on February 16th this year, which means it's officially the Year Of The Dog and a good year for wearing purple and smelling the roses but a bad year for those born on a Dog year.
Over a quarter of the world's population celebrate the Lunar New Year and follow the Chinese Zodiac, but the rest don't understand why all those animal signs are such a big deal, which technologist ShaoLan Hseuh thinks is a shame.
So she gave an educational and fun TED talk explaining how the Chinese Zodiac works, including "how it's believed to influence your personality, career, marriage prospects and how you'll do in a given year."

I'd like to see Monty Pythons Fish Slapping Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s&feature=fvst performed by the original Star Trek crew...
But those fragments from Star Trek also do show how things have changed since then in the depiction of science fiction...
great mash-up though :)
