Biorhythms, Credulous or Crap?

I like to think of myself as a scientist at heart. I need to lay my hands on something to fully accept it. That said, I do believe in life on other planets. How can you say there's no life anywhere but earth when the universe is boundless? I tend to think fortune tellers are scam artists, except for the tarot card reader at the QVB in Sydney who told me I was going to go home and hook up with the most perfect love of my life (married 14 months later). And I've gotta say there is something to biorhythms.

I first started looking into biorhythms after having one of those days where everything I touched turned to crap. My computer died, I got nabbed doing 85 on the beltway, and then got stuck for 30 minutes behind some schlub at Kroger trying to buy a bag or pork rinds with the proceeds from his penny jar. That evening, just for grins I Googled "biorhythm chart" and found this site. I dialed in my birthday, and, sure enough, two of my curves were bottom dead center, and the other was getting close.

Ever since, I keep that site bookmarked and check it a couple times a week, just to get an idea of what lies ahead. No, I don't hole up under a blanket with my beanie babies on the bad days, but when life comes apart at the seams, it's nice to be able to blame it on the numbers.
