Some people read their horoscopes every day without fail. Others have a glance at them when they’re having a laugh with their friends.
Either way, whoever looked at the horoscopes section in the Metro Herald this morning may have gotten a feeling of déjà vu.
That’s because the paragraph under each star sign said the same thing. Furthermore, it wasn’t proper text but rather copy put in by a sub-editor that was meant to be replaced.
It read: “This is a swathe of dummy text that can be used to indicate how many words for a particular space.
“The text contains [25 words] a couple of different paragraphs so, visually, it doesn’t look to repetitive repetitive repetitive.”
So does this mean that our horoscopes aren’t actually determined by the alignment of the planets and the universe?
