Wikipedia is ten years old. But that's according to Wikipedia, so it is probably inaccurate.

During a Lunar Eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a linear alignment with the Earth passing between the Sun and Moon, blocking the Sun's light to the Moon and casting the Earth's own visible shadow against the Moon. A Solar Eclipse, on the other hand, finds the Moon in between, blocking the Sun's light to the Earth and casting its own shadow against the Sun, instead.

If Archaeology's your passion, there's finally a reality show for you: Chasing Mummies, Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM Pacific Time on the History Channel, featuring the impotent tyranny of Doctor Zahi Hawass, the larger-than-life impediment to true discovery who everyone loves to fear, and the hourglass-slow speed of archaeological investigation, sped up like time lapse photography for television. Better than a life sentence in a Turkish prison with Hamidou of Midnight Express.

In dreams I walk with you.
In Dreams, Roy Orbison
Don't be a good neighbor to her.
I'll send you a love letter
straight from my heart, Fucker.
Do you know what a love letter is?
It's a bullet from a fucking gun, Fucker.
If you receive a love letter from me
you're fucked forever.
Do you understand, Fuck?
I'll send you straight to Hell, Fucker.
