Be you Piscean, of Aquarian age, misnomered Virgo or Scorpio...it is guaranteed (guarantee rendered null and void if you are among the roughly 150,000 fated to terminate today) that today

you will pass 1 to 3 pints of flatulence.
(at this office, you can blame up to half a pint on Bella, the office dog and master of the silent-but-deadly.)
you will speak between 7,000 and 28,000 words, regardless of your gender.

In the case of some object genuinely deserving specifically such a non-specific label, ban shall be momentarily suspended. Words that really need a rusty ride: cavalier, malevolent, serendipitous.

(Sound never dies. It just reverberates around, getting slower and slower. At this point, police can make recordings at some crime scenes hours after the crime and play them back faster, thus catching snippets of past conversations. In the future, technology may allow futurites to hear any of those 7,000 to 28,000 chosen words. )
