Cord-o-scopes: Sept. 7, 2009

/

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): To gain favour with your professors and peers, you should attempt to answer every question raised in class whether or not you know the answerโ€ฆ, or just ask seemingly irrelevant questions instead. Theyโ€™ll love that.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Despite what your friends tell you, there is no Laurier nudist club. So for everyoneโ€™s sake, keep your damn clothes on.

Scorpio (Oct. 22 to Nov. 21): You will start reading Marx in one of your classes. I donโ€™t care what program or year youโ€™re in, itโ€™s going to happen.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Remember that nobody walks on the hawk! Unless the hallway is packed, which it almost always is. Or if youโ€™re not paying attention. Or if you just donโ€™t feel like getting out of the way. Remember that people only walk on the hawk some of the time!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): You will fall madly in love with โ€œJudyโ€ the sandwich lady at the dining hall after her roast beef on rye rocks your world.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): After a friend introduces you to World of Warcraft, youโ€™ll spend weeks alone in your room, only to eventually emerge reborn as Gorlock, a magical elf destined to save Laurier from its evil overlords.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20): In a moment of passion youโ€™ll decide to renounce your consumerist ways by flushing all of your frivolous possessions down the toilet. However, after sobering up youโ€™ll soon realize that life is unbearable without an iPod and Blackberry. Also, your toiletโ€™s broken.

Aries (March 21 to April 19): Itโ€™s probably best to remember that the rhyme, โ€œBeer before liquor,
youโ€™ve never been sickerโ€ is a warning, not a challenge.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20): The stars show that soon all your dreams will come true. Unfortunately, all youโ€™ve been dreaming about recently is athleteโ€™s foot and the end of the world.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20): Try to remember that itโ€™s only acceptable to run down the street dressed in fluorescent spandex screaming at everyone you see if youโ€™re actually participating
in O-Week activities. Otherwise youโ€™re just a weirdo. Scratch that, itโ€™s never acceptable.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22): When an attractive person in your class asks you what your major is, itโ€™s in your best interest to take the high road and avoid referencing your genitalia.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22): You will be in awe of nature when you get to witness the majestic glory of Laurierโ€™s elusive music students outside their natural habitat of the Aird building, scavenging for woodwinds in preparation for a long winter.

As a small boy, Adam Nagel choked after swallowing the wheel of a Tonka truck; this near
death experience gave him the power to see into the void and predict the future.
