I've told this before. I have it first hand accounts from friends who where there.

In'79 when the crowd in front of the Tehran Embassy was passive. The US news crews would get chants started to make the news in time for NY.

Heh. We didn't have totality here, but the crowds were surprisingly fun.

Yeah, it's all fun and games until 99% of humanity goes blind, and then... the Triffids show up...

That might lead to instances of blackened-"catfishing".   

(OK, maybe I'm reaching on that one.)

By the way; a quick question for you in the Frontier.

(Reprising this)

If Apollo 13 had been an all-female crew.

"Houston, we have a problem."

Go ahead, Apollo 13, please describe the nature of the problem.

"Houston, if you really cared, you'd already know."

Ah... Go ahead, 13, please tell us about the problem.

"There's NO problem. Everything's FINE."

Heh. I still have a tendency to do that at times, but I'm trying not to. I freely admit--I'm a chick.

92 or 93% totality where I was. They supplied eclipse glasses.
