    I know. We're not meant to look directly. But seriously: that's like putting a hole in a wall with a sign "do not look through this hole".

      We got a partial eclipse here. Quite cool.

      What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

        :cool: I did wear my sunglasses and the cloud cover enabled me to see enough...we had around 90% coverage here. I really did try to do the pinhole camera, but it wasn't working...so yeah, I looked. :laugh:

              I was outside 50 minutes ago and had already forgot about it. Supposedly we were to get 86% coverage, but all I saw was haze; c'est la vie!

                  I was scheduled in a meeting for all but 12 minutes of the eclipse :sigh: . It's not as much of a disappointment as it sounds, since our weather was fairly overcast today. I've seen it get darker just before a line of thunderstorms came through.

                    You need a welding filter, for arc welding. :)

                      That would protect against the pie too... good tip ;P :laugh: :laugh:

                      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
