Cool.I love space. I have one of those Junior telescopes-I bought it for my kids back in 1995. I used it more than them. I still do. I wanna buy a real one-once my SSI comes in. I love the stars and-everything about it sky-and what lies out there. It's amazing to me.

If it goes dark over Southern Africa later - it's now 1 pm - I'm going to get on my house's roof naked and start howling.  Buggedout TeddyR

Just starting. Looked at it through a welder's shield for a second. Cool. (Now I hope I don't go blind in that eye...)

The eclipse just passed by. Didn't get full coverage here, but it was still kinda neat. News said it would look like dusk. Didn't really get that dark. It was more like a day-for-night shot in an older movie.

Eclipse passed here about an hour ago. It wasnt what i expected. I dont think we got full coverage here. It was strange though. It was sunny but shady. its hard to explain. kinda like ambient sunshine not direct sunshine. Eerie in a way. I snapped some pictures but they didnt show the eclipse, the guy next to me took a picture and captured it perfectly. Dammit! Someone else had the special glasses and let see, i saw the eclipse just after totality and witnessed a nice crescent sun. Very cool. hopefully i wont get cataracts.

That was so stupid. Okay, maybe the sunlight took on a vaguely weird glow and the world grew strangely neon-dim, maybe ONE breeze suddenly kicked up, maybe a few retarded birds sang their nightly vespers a bit early, yes, pinholes poked in a cereal box eventually turned crescent-shaped, whoo-bloody-hoo, but come ON, what a let-down after we spent weeks wetting ourselves in excitement! If that was a 93% drop in sunlight I'm a frickin' feminist. Now my children will never trust me again after I stood there for an hour and a half saying, "No, no, something's going to happen, this will be neat! Hey, don't go inside!" Oh, yawn, they should be glad I pulled them out of school and quit looking at me all smug and "uh-huh" today. So the lying nerds of science once again led us down the primrose path, and we fell for it like we did the moon landing. But dang, I'm glad I invested in Chou-Chung-Cho Enterprises of Hanzhou, a Chinese company that makes eclipse glasses! Cha-ching! Off to the spa I go!

Yes! It was done to make it look like the world was round. Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas faked the Stretch Armstrong footage with money from the Freemasons, and that's why Obama had Elvis killed and also why they came out with New Coke. People are so naive.

No, seriously, all pictures of Stretch Armstrong on the moon are totally fake.

No-we really did land on the moon. It's not fake-that's tin foil hat nonsense.
C'mon.  Lookingup
I expect better than that from you.
Your joking,right? Hahaha-funny? Yanking my crank?
Because if I really thought you believed that-that means your insane.
Please tell me your joking-because if not-that puts everything you wrote in a whole different light. And that makes everything you wrote suspect.
And I'm a fan of yours. Please tell me you don't believe that.
And if you DO-I'll look at you like I do I do people who believe in con artists like George Adamski- your head  is in the clouds. And can't  tell reality from the crazy paranoid workings of your brain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Adamski

And if you do believe that-called 'magical thinking'

"it denotes the belief that one's thoughts by themselves can bring about effects in the world or that thinking something corresponds with doing it. In both cases, the belief can cause a person to experience fear, seemingly not rationally justifiable to an observer outside the belief system, of performing certain acts or having certain thoughts because of an assumed correlation between doing so and threatening calamities."

Charlie Manson was a "magical"" thinker. He thought what he was doing was ok and justified.

 It means-in layman's terms-yer crazy and paranoid and live in yer own little bubble.
That's fine-I just won't take anything you write serious again. It will always be with a grain of salt.

Folks like to think I'm some crazy old drunk. I am.
 But I'm not stupid.
