So the President of the United States is a Leo, eh?

President Barack Obama turns 48 today. He was born on August 4, 1961, making Leo his astrological sign.

So what is his horoscope today? According to horoscope.com:

“Birthdays may only come once a year, but this year, every day may feel like your birthday as you are in a cycle of renewal and possibility. Doors may be opening for you now that have been closed for a long time. Your only job is to stay open and notice the opportunities that are available to you…”

I wonder if the President believes in the Zodiac…

In any case, wishing President Obama a very happy birthday - and for the sake of all of us - a successful 49th year!

This past week bloggers have been busier than usual in their WikiAnswers research for the sake of their posts. It’s nice to see such a wide variety of topics being covered, too. Shockingly, this time, I didn’t find any fears about animal takeovers.

• Bill Trippe, on pondering Irish short story writer Frank O’Connor, asks about the term ’sure and begorrah,’ and - by God - WikiAnswers has it covered.
• The Changemaker blog has its readers learning how to create their own meal plans (and I must say, there is a really good answer for that one).
• On How To Disappear Completely, the writer seems to really hope to disappear completely if encountering Yale student pedestrians when driving at night; the Ivy League students seem to get A’s in class but can’t stick to the rules of walking? Our blogger investigates the SAT scores of Ivy League students anyway.
• What does left-handedness say about a U.S. president? Dabroots looks to WikiAnswers to find a connection…
• Speaking of left-handed presidents - apparently Democratic candidate Barack Obama is left-handed - Thinking Outside The Blog writer hunts down Michelle Obama’s maiden name, in a search to uncover her Princeton Master’s thesis.
• Is it safe to take Ibuprofen while pregnant? Doesn’t sound like it, which is why the Under the Monkey Bars blogger is a bit confused about her doctor’s directions.
• Kyla takes a shot at animal group names and comes up with a bouquet of pheasant - nice!
• Lastly, something we’ve all doubtlessly wondered about before, here asked by Hopelessly Sarcastic: Tenika Robertson, a passenger with R&B artist Teddy Pendergrass in the car accident that paralyzed him: gay or not?
