Stars Remain In Their Usual Places; People Panic

asheller writes "The Star Tribune tells us the zodiac signs have shifted. Earth's wobble has shifted the signs, a new one's been added and many of us have changed signs. Formerly a Cancer, I've apparently been upgraded to Gemini and am now married to an Ophiuchus, a new sign. What's yor sign? The new Zodiac Chart is pretty interesting." Here are some priceless reactions to this celestial development. As long as the Chinese Zodiac is unaffected, I'll still be able to accurately judge people based on when they were born, so please indicate in comments your (new) sign and birth year animal, so we'll be able to know where you're coming from.

    Taken literally, "I could care less" does mean you at least care a little bit right now. See this continuum of caring I found.

    Although "I couldn't care less" is the original form, "I could care less" is classic American sarcasm - a positive phrase meant negatively. I wouldn't consider it any more "wrong" than phrases like "Lucky you!" (said to someone suffering misfortune), or "Tell me about it!" (said when you've heard it all before and really don't want to be told all about it.)
