\"AnnularDOOM! DOOM is upon us! The Sun is being eaten!!!!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The eclipse is starting. I can see the changing of the light and am debating about making a pinhole observation device.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, maybe I\u2019ll just wait for the pictures later today.<\/p>\n

I wonder how many religious cults are gleefully drinking Cyanide laced kool aid? Yeah, apparently several years ago there were a number of fundamentalist cults who believed the time of The Rapture was nigh and had to be talked off the ledge over some special eclipse.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m to the point in my life where I think no-one should talk idiots off the proverbial ledge. Evolution demands that only useful genes get passed on and those genes which are not useful are recycled as food. Stupid brutish humans are good for protection. (Ogg, you stand here. Don\u2019t let anyone come through this gate. Yes Ogg, you can hit\u2026<\/em>) Generally stupid humans who are neither pretty, or strong, can probably be excised from the gene pool without causing a ripple.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think it was Dr Who, that said it best. \u201cLife is just natures way of keeping the meat fresh<\/em>“<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about the smart people?\u201d You ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hey they\u2019re the ones who know it\u2019s an eclipse, a natural phenomena, and can maybe make a few bucks off the stupid by selling reflective mylar sheets for $200 a pop to morons as radiation shields. (Hey, Light is radiation\u2026 I never said which kind of radiation the sheet shielded against!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably a really good thing that I don\u2019t work at a Suicide Hot line. I\u2019d have the worst \u201csave\u201d record because I\u2019d be doing exactly what it said on the tin…<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy Holidays, Suicide hot line how can I help? So how far along are you in your suicide? Oh, you\u2019re up on the top of the building? Uh huh, and the building is at least 4 stories tall? Oh? Only two stories\u2026 Are there any wrought iron fences with spikes nearby? You\u2019re just barely going to reach terminal velocity with a two story jump. I\u2019d suggest finding a taller building or throwing yourself onto something that could impale you. Oh you\u2019re welcome sir\u2026 have a wonderful death!<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Yeah I\u2019m a sick fuck!<\/p>\n

Damn! The sun is recovering\u2026 I guess the Rapture isn\u2019t happening today!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always tomorrow!!!!<\/p>\n
