Only somewhere around 99.99~% of scientists agree on the effects of retinal exposure during the event. This places it firmly in the realm of "gangster science". So... no glasses necessary... right?  |

That was limp. 3/10 at best.

It's a quick change of tune when it's your own eyeballs at risk! Hey, it could be those Nibiru magnetic death rays which have been killing fish. Maybe there's not a YouTube video claiming that yet. |

When 98.2% of the sun is covered and it still doesn't go dark it really doesn't live up to the hype. Obama must be behind this.

I'm just chuckling at the fact that every single cliched anti-intellectual "science is in on it/hiding it from us/NWO/" denier I know who's been slamming NASA non-stop in the name o' Trump n' Glory is, right now, outside wearing heavy shades and enjoying the hell out of this like kids in a candy store.. all based on the predictions and conclusions of that same agency.
Just goes to show all the conspiracy hooplah is more about feeling like part of some secret club than any real concrete beliefs. When it's a fun and interesting event, all that crap goes right out the window.

When it's a fun and interesting event, all that crap goes right out the window.  Million bucks says his eyeballs are fine. Scientists wrong. Here's where you're wrong, about everything. NO ONE is wearing glasses "because trust us". In fact I challenge you to find one single reference anywhere to "concensus" on this issue. News clips don't even mention NASA. They just explain how the glasses work. That's why people are convinced. Honestly have you never had a single rebellious impulse in your life? Do you not realize that people everywhere are going to be pulling up their glasses to sneak a peak for themselves anyway? Not even out of defiance but just simple human curiosity. They don't see themselves as part of a secret club. That's a rationalization. You imagine they must feel that way, otherwise they'd be listening to you. And Hillary Clinton would have won too if she could have just gotten her message through. |

One of their friends stopped by, and after the event, we were talking about the next one - in 2045? I think - and this other guy started talking about biblical end-times crap, and my friend and I beat a hasty retreat, went to her house down the road and had some margaritas. We took photos of the shadows on her stone patio and had a blast! I almost asked that other guy if he knew about Niburu, but decided against it ;-) |

It was sort of a surreal sight. |

It was sort of a surreal sight. Well, rats, too bad about your cloud cover. We had it this morning but it was gone by the time of the eclipse. I was out in the country. LOL, there were highway signs a few days ago, warning that the eclipse was coming and traffic might be disrupted, and that we should use our headlights! Oh, no, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! |

Well, rats, too bad about your cloud cover. Chicago weather was trollish as ever. Clear right up to the event, then total cloud cover for about an hour, then clear the rest of the day. |
