Jewish friend asked me a very funny legal question: “Can you break your Ramadan fast during the eclipse since technically it gets dark?”

I had to hand it to him, I didn’t think of that.

It's about 50% obscured here now. Where the heck are the illuminati? They're cutting it awful fine.

Cicahdas

Actually, that's how it was pronounced in "Slow Horses."

But they're British, so we can forgive them. They're won't to add irregular letters, you know.

[Renauda]

Pretty sure it’s pronounced cicahda in the parts of this country where they occur.

Don’t have them outbhere, so it’s a

I took 271 photos of it today from my back patio.

89.1% Partial Eclipse. Decided to stay home this time.
Canon 50D on a fixed tripod w/18-200mm Zoom at 200mm f5.6 1/1600 sec exposures, ISO 100. Baader Planitarium Solar Film Filter.

271 photos aligned, registered and output to avi movie format using PIPP (Planetary Imaging Pre-Processor)
It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

Americans correcting the British on their pronounciation is nothing new.

Some fucker will pipe up in a minute and say 'back in medieval times everybody in England sounded exactly like John Wayne, you know!'

[Mik]

At one time all the Americans sounded like Anthony Hopkins.

Who is a US Citizen, by the way.

Probably. I'm not sure I could understand either.

Actually dual British/American citizenship.
