Have been eagerly awaiting this Merwan, and my scope's all cleaned and polished in fevered anticipation.

"looks forward to seeing his redneck neighbors looking out their windows at me and asking: 'What's he lookin' at ? Hyuck.. hyuck..' "

I was talking in another thread about the 'dumbing down' of the BBC.

In this evening's News broadcast, the transit was described as 'a once-in-a-lifetime astrological event'.

Actually Venus can be seen crossing the sun ALL THE TIME. You just gotta be watching from the correct angles.

And when you tell them "the transit of Venus", they'll ask, "Who's Enos?"
