Looked up the corresponding Chinese Cosmic element was hoping it to be water... But looks like its the year of the wood goat.

Actually, I did. Concerned about field reset affecting my cycle times I built a thing I call a "Tote Goat", which is a wheeled wooden contraption that can let a single person move 15 to 20 totes easily.

So if this is the year of the wood goat, I find that very auspicious.

So married folks can't operate your device? That seems unnecessary.

Now it's time to start the debate about whether or not a sheep is a goat...

山羊

Put "goat" into Google Translate and you get the characters above (Shānyáng).

However, many Chinese language explanations of the 12 year animal zodiac cycle list 2015 +/-12N as the year of 羊 (Yáng), for which Google Translate returns "sheep".

Hence the confusion. I've traveled in China for business, a few times. This translation confusion is typical of many examples I have seen.

I propose we call it the year of the "sheep, goat, ram, whatever"

This debate totes floats my goats, and I have notes and quotes to prove it. Maybe we should take votes?

As well as witches, gravy, very small rocks, and oh yes - a duck (or perhaps a barbary hen).

This may very well be the weirdest Chief Delphi thread of all time...

Our team's mascot is the goat, causing us to produce this button:

Agreed. Even though it turned me into a newt, it just might possibly be a violation of G16 (G)
