No. No, I won't.
Everybody I talked to thought it was over hyped...until they saw it. Grisly old men were awed. Young people were awed. I was a wonderful experience for everyone. Which is a good thing.
Aaaaaaand here's my grandson watching the eclipse...
Jupiter with three simultaneous eclipses. Holy fucking science shit, boys and girls.
Miss the eclipse? Mark your calendar.
Me and the bride loved every second of it.
Easy chair, beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. It don't get any better than that.
During totality I could barely see my neighbor's house across the street.
All of our automatic lights came on...thinking it was night time.
The shadows were freaky...
Those are all crescent shaped and fucking awesome.

George Lincoln Rockwell (center), leader of the American Nazi Party, and 2 of his top aides attend a Malcolm X speech on common grounds of racial segregation during a Nation of Islam rally in 1961. Rockwell and his supporters were there to push for a divide in the US of the Aryans for one half, and Malcolm X's supporters for the other (you can guess what Nazi's wanted to do with everyone else). Rockwell even spoke at this event himself. This American born former WWII veteran fought the Nazi's, only to become one. He also denied the holocaust, coined the phrase "white power", confronted Martin Luther King directly, and is a key reason America has neo-Nazi's. He was assassinated in 1967 by one of his former party members.

The fact that you have to tell people not to throw their fucking piss at police officers is very troubling.

One of many Pipers that died during WW1. 1000's were the first to head over the top to pipe their men to battle.
Think about a tradition like that for a moment.
It's called fighting today's battles with the last wars methods. Insanity.

Improvised Explosive Devices
Often in public, to cause mass hysteria. IEDs are a terrifying weapon, indiscriminate killers and dangerous to every living person on the planet.
Its often not the explosion that kills people, especially in vehicles, its the shock wave. A vehicle may look almost intact after hitting an IED, but a persons organs aren't made of steel and rupture causing internal bleeding and organ failure.
And nowhere is safe. A landing strip may have been safe and secure the day before, but in the middle of the night insurgents are hard at work to plant these atrocious devices.
It's called asymmetrical warfare and we should have learned that lesson in Vietnam.

THINGS GOING AWRY
Guy builds a beautiful doghouse and dog sleeps under it.
But that's not what I find interesting. Look at the bags of concrete they simply laid around their flower bed. It doesn't take too long before enough moisture seeps in to harden it to a brick. Then you just remove the paper. Brilliant.

Yes, but other animals are perfectly happy to drink milk when it is given to them. They just lack the thumbs to get at it themselves.

Juliane Koepcke, age 17, was sucked out of an airplane after it was struck by lightening. She fell 2 miles to the ground strapped to her seat and survived. She had to endure a 10 day hike through the amazon jungle before being rescued by a logging team. Out of 93 passenger's, she was the only survivor of the Lansa flight 508 crash that took place December 24th, 1971.

I googled "ministry of silly walks watch"...I found 3 sites that have them for ~ $39. Therefore I am getting another watch. Thanks, Mel
I'm glad I could be of help.
Hi Ralph,
Best spark up a joint to get your head around this one, it'l take some visualization.
The variations of an eclipse's width is due to the relative distances between earth/moon/sun when they line up for the eclipse. The orbits are elliptical - sometimes the moon is 363,396km from earth, sometimes it's 405,504 km from earth, most of the time it's somewhere inbetween. Same thing with the earth, it ranges between 147.1 million km and 152.1 million km from the sun (yes, kilometers you imperial savage).
Alongside these variations, celestial bodies are oblate spheroids, not perfect spheres. I think this is because of their axial rotations - the spin squashes them a bit between the poles and fattens them a bit along the equator. Polar radius is about 0.3% less than equatorial radius.
Also, there is a 5.14 degree of inclination between the orbital planes of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth. This means the orbits are not perfectly aligned, which is why partial eclipses are more common than full eclipses.
Now take into account the Earths axis of rotation being at an angle to it's orbital plane around the sun, and the speed of one spin around this axis in relation to it's orbital speed around the sun.
All this combines to change not only the width of an eclipse's area on the earths surface, but also the length and trajectory of it's path (see how some curve more than others).
So many factors contribute the eclipse path. What time of year, what time of day, what latitude it's being cast over. Shit, there's probably more that I don't know about and humans can't yet calculate.
Picture a burning ball on a flat table with a watery ball rolling around it with a bit of side spin to it, which has a powdery ball rolling around it on a tilted table. Shit's not lined up yo. Every now and then it looks like it's lined up for a little while, and a shadow is cast before it all goes back to usual.
BTW I got some old Aussie paper money I thought you might have more creative use for than I do. Let me know which pub to send it to for ya.
Have a good one,

Does reading that mean I'm now a scientist, too?
Thanks, mate.
What's up everyone, it's my first visit at this web site, and paragraph is in fact fruitful for
me, keep up posting these articles.
