All 'signs' point to bin Laden being a whacko

By Tanya Bricking

A Chinese astrologer calls Osama bin Laden "A rooster gone very, very wrong."
What makes Osama bin Laden tick? Chinese astrologer Shelly Wu says the answer may be in the 10th sign of the zodiac.

In her "Portrait of a Madman" on the Internet, Wu says bin Laden was born in 1957 under the influence of the element fire and is "the worst-case scenario of a rooster gone very, very wrong."

His all-or-nothing personality picks up on all of the negative traits of the rooster sign, Wu says, including being obsessive, skeptical, secretive, stubborn and opinionated to a fault. She says he exploits his intelligence and has no sense of humor, but he is absolutely loyal, persuasive and aggressive.

"His ingrained nervousness and anxiety spring from his bi-polar, manic-depressive, self-destructive tendencies," Wu says.

"Only those who do not care whether they live or die, with the fearless courage of a tiger provoked to rage, can combat him."
