Saturday afternoon, we'll get a partial eclipse, OG.

This is my bad boy. I'm gonna spot me some aylyuns too.

EDIT: Note reflection of Asmo in the window. I've got 5000W bulb on him to test for the refraction coeffiecient of evil.

Goddammit, the BBC just said that in the UK it will only be visible from the Shetland Islands.

Thanks BH, but another bulletin just said it would only be total up north.  If the clouds allow, we shall see a partial eclipse down here.  However, it's pretty cloudy now, with 3 hours to go.

No, dammit, I didn't.  The Pastafarians at Venganza were hoping it would give a chance to see what kind of cheese the moon is made out of.  Maybe some of the Murrikins will be able to find out.

Well, I didn't have a telescope so I just saw it with my eyes.
