anyway, best of luck convincing this guy to reinstate a federal advisory committee on climate change
Best of luck turning a non political thread into a political one.
coolest thing, seriously.
we were at a party and 200 people with kids stood on a street corner at 2:45 in darkness.

From 2:38-2:44-ish, it was dark! Crickets were chirping. The street lights came on!

is that real?...dayum cool, bro.
I gotta admit, that's pretty freaking cool.From 2:38-2:44-ish, it was dark! Crickets were chirping. The street lights came on!
I do think it's kinda cool, but it's funny to listen to people essentially say "It was night time for 5 minutes.... 5 hours before it was supposed to be night time!"
I heard a blurb about ancient civilizations like the Aztecs banging drums to make the sun come back ... and then of course feeling like they had done exactly that. I guess that would make you think it was REALLY important to do it again the next time.
So in about the five minutes it takes for the total eclipse to occur and go away, they had enough time to...
1.) Notice it was getting darker.
2.) Give a damn.
3.) Panic.
4.) Think of something to do.
5.) Decide on banging on drums, of all things.
6.) Get the drums.
7.) Bang on them.
Aztecs must have been some spastic MF'ers.
They didn't have Hellman's, Crystal Pepsi, XBox, football, basketball, or internet porn.... it's not like they were very busy most days
Our future is in really good hands. Just told this group of kids that there would be another eclipse tonight. Half the earth would block out the sun and it would be dark for about 9 hours. One kid said, "That's cool, what time does it start?" I said, "Around 9."
It's Nebraska. Those kids have probably never even seen a hill before.
No actually we have some pretty good hills here. We just don't have many future Harvard graduates.
Who needs Harvard when you're got Cornhusker Football, by God!
It's nearly a religion out here. I catch myself pulling against them sometimes just to watch the meltdowns. I will have to say that I met Coach Osborn and he's a good guy. Also met Aaron Davis of the 1994 National Championship team and he's a great guy.
It's a natural reaction when you move somewhere new and one particular team is ultra popular. It's why I despise UGA Football.
