That's interesting, thank you. Wasn't sure what you meant by Gil Scott-Heron's lyrics being a taboo, though?

Wow, how are you finding Mandarin? I agree with you completely about languages being really beneficial.

That's interesting - thanks, Crystal. I'm very happily married to a Libra, so not looking for a partner, but this does explain why I find the various members of my family who are Scorpios a bit tricky to handle sometimes!
