  Calculus is to arithmetic what astrology is to astronomy.

More years ago than I care to remember I was coming back from the USA in business-class and sitting next to me was a woman dripping with jewellery. She was using a laptop and I could see she was writing horoscopes, from the Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, etc headings on the screen. Under them she was typing the details of each one for the day. Not only was she not referring to anything as to what astrologers might consider relevant for that day and that sign of the Zodiac, but she was cutting and pasting between them at random!
I assumed she was someone well known for writing horoscopes and they were syndicated. It sure seemed to pay well from the jewellery she had!
