    The longest eclipse of the century, eh? If it were 2099 instead of 2009, that would be much more impressive.

    And this is why North America (assuming that's where you're from) is so screwed up. Even things that aren't even remotely, slightly sexual, but show *gasp* skin, are seen as vile, and need to be hidden from sight.

    God I hate this continent sometimes.
