I was born on a Tuesday. All indicators suggest it ought to have been a Thursday (per Walden's version, which is the one I've always gone by. Sorry, MarkB. I'm just too darn old to change at this point in the game)

I don't think anyone would have gotten that! Or been so persistent in trying. Geez! A swollen head? Well, I was born on Tuesday anyway.Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium. ~ Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence.----Seneca

In all honesty, I simply meant full face as opposed to flat face (hence the reference to your dog).
On second thought, I think I'll go with the "your avatar looks like it has the trots" explanation. Yeah, that's what I meant. Really.

I'm a Friday's child. My wife keeps telling me I'm full of sh*t. I've told her the poem doesn't say that.

He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

Re: What child are you?
I've always heard Walden's version.Walden wrote:What's that, the p.c. version? This is how it goes:MarkB wrote:Sunday's Child Is Full of Grace
Sunday's child is full of grace,
Monday's child is full in the face,
Tuesday's child is solemn and sad,
Wednesday's child is merry and glad,
Thursday's child is inclined to thieving,
Friday's child is free in giving,
And Saturday's child works hard for a living.
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
I was born on a Wednesday.
I'm Monday.
Several years ago Avon sold necklaces with these verses on them. I just found mine yesterday while cleaning out my jewelry box.
