SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): More than a few wildlife films use deception
to fool the audiences into thinking they're watching animals in the wild. So
says Chris Palmer, a producer of many such films. "One classic trick
involves hiding jellybeans in carcasses," he told *New Scientist.* "If you
see a bear feeding on a dead elk in a film, you can be pretty sure that the
bear was hired from a game farm and is looking for sweets hidden in the
carcass by the film-makers." I suspect you will encounter a metaphorically
comparable ruse or switcheroo sometime soon, Scorpio. It'll be your job
to be an enforcer of authenticity. Be on the lookout for the jellybeans.
