The Year of the Rooster

The other day in a Geography class we were talking about the Chinese New Year.  I was born in the year of the rooster - that much I knew from eating in Chinese restaurants.  I didn't realize that this was also a year of the rooster.  Instantly I began to wonder what the Chinese say or believe about being born and dying under the same sign.  As I was contemplating that the teacher commented that maybe this will be a good year for me.  I chuckled to myself.
