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

    You're a dicklicker. Guess what! We already know that there won't be a longer one this century. See, humans (some of them; not you, apparently) are smart. And we can PREDICT events such as, oh, SOLAR ECLIPSES. And we know exactly how long they will be.
     
    You are a fucking idiot and I hope a train hits you.

    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.
