My Horoscope from The Onion

My Horoscope from The Onion

Perhaps not the most uplifting horoscope possible, but my horoscope from TheOnion.COM was funny: Libra: You won’t be hit by a bus this week, exactly. Circumstances will unfold so that you’re traveling at almost 100 miles an hour when you strike a stationary bus.
