Major bug fixes and improvements by Christopher J. Madsen
This is a Greasemonkey user script, see http://www.greasespot.net/,
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748 and http://userscripts.org/
This script adds the age and other various info onto IMDB pages. Specifically
it adds some details to actor or actresses pages. It adds their age, their
Tropical Zodiac Sign and their Chinese Zodiac Sign. As well as adding how many
years ago and how old they were when they made the listed films. It also adds
how long a go a film was made on a film page.
Any of the above can be turned on or off by commenting or uncommenting any of
the following variables below. Edit this script once it's installed comment and
uncomment as necessary. */
