Well, I'm glad you're happy, Jenny, but I'm not, as I'm a rat!  (Born 
1972).  But it's not all bad...

Rat   
1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996  
People born in the Year of the Rat are renowned for their charm. 
Although easily angered, they appear to be cool, calm, and completely 
under control. Their ability to hide anger and discontent is a 
valuable asset. Rat people have a great deal of ambition and 
integrity, and an unbelievable persistence. Naturally thrifty, they 
have the ability to save money. Rat people are inclined to be fussy 
about petty things. Love brings out their generosity. They must guard 
against loving someone who doesn't love them back, and in their 
eagerness to impress, spend everything they've managed to save. They 
like to live well and are good to themselves. Since rat people adore 
gossip, their friends are sometimes of short duration.   

Now most of the above is rubbish, particularly the gossip thing - all 
my friends are of pretty long duration, and I can keep a secret.  I 
don't think that I'm easily angered, either.  Now I can think of 
friends who I was at college with who fit the above much better...
