When Ancient History Meets Modern Science Class

The eternal classroom showdown between scientific skepticism and historical cherry-picking. When a science teacher dismisses astrology, there's always that one student ready to drop the "but ancient Babylonians used it!" bomb. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just grabbing popcorn for the impending debate disaster.

Fun fact: Astronomy and astrology were indeed inseparable for millennia. Ancient astronomers tracked celestial bodies with impressive precision—not to understand cosmic physics, but to predict which days were best for harvesting crops or invading neighboring kingdoms. Science evolved; horoscopes didn't get the memo.
