Happy Chinese New Year

I was born in 1977, the chinese year of the snake.
According to chinese mythology, snake signs are the enemy of boar signs, and the friend of Ox signs. Which is good , because i was born in the western astrological month of Taurus.

While we're on it, i was born in 1977. 7 is a lucky number in christiandom, so lucky infact that to just miss out on double 7 (14) is considered unlucky (13).

I was born on the 28th day of april. 28 being 2 times 14, which is 2 times 7. So i should be twice (or four times) as lucky as normal right? And in the year 1977, 2 sevens there as well.

This is the Chinese year of the goat. And the point of all this? Beats me.
