I will try to learn magic.
They did that in 2012 when they turned on the LHC. Remember? Then Harambe got shot and everything continued to get worse since?
Sleeping for sure

I’m a former ‘Ohioan’, and have an interesting fact for you. A certain Army ammo dump was built in the early '50s quite close to where I used to live in the NE part of the state, and the reason it was placed there was because of the near-constant cloud cover in the area, thanks to the ‘Lake Erie’ effect. This made it safer from potential bombing in those days…though I don’t think cloud cover would mean much in modern times.
So yeah…Ohio and clouds, definitely a thing.

The last time we were on stand by because we were worried people were going to wreck cars trying to see it.
Honestly, I couldn’t tell much difference. Not with all the controlled burns and they sky naturally orange from that
I plan to ritually sacrifice the neighbors to the Mayan gods.
I’ll probably be standing outside. Not looking up, mind you, I’ll just be there in the vain hope that an errant eclipse moonbeam grants me superpowers.

I live in the 60-80% effect range so I’m guessing it’s my job to kick the aliens and demons back into play for the 100% folks. Unless the apocalypse falls thru, them I sitting on the porch with coffee just watching.

Nope, saw it 6 years ago when it passed over, burnt the holy heck out of my eyeball because the glasses were knocked off by accident while looking. Thankfully fully recovered, but I do still see a lil black dot if I focus, so I get to see the eclipse forever.
Enjoy the massage though!
This is my chance to tell my captors that if they don’t let me go I was take away the sun and it will be dark forever. Problem is they are off trying to line up their space telescope to do something or other so I’ll have to wait for an opportunity.

I was going to complain, loudly, about nobody getting my movie reference but now I have to admit, I don’t get yours.
… soooooo… sexy times all around…?
I completely missed your Ladyhawke reference until I went back through the thread. Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick made a great comedic team.

There are stories, or at least there were, from the “Age of Discovery” when Europeans were captured by various indiginous tribes just before an eclipse. Knowing the time of the eclipse they would threaten their captors that they had the power to take away the sun.
Now whether these stories were just rumor or real is not clear but they were going around.

Probably going to do some yard work, marvel at midafternoon darkness for a few minutes and then go back to yard work.
I am finding the mild panic around here about it entertaining. Local news is publishing reports on how to “protect your pets” and the highway signs are encouraging people not to drive.

Yes. I WILL STOP IT!
I’ll probably be fighting off the demons that CERN is trying to summon into our world.
This is actually a thing. The moon can pull the seedlings up and help them grow, makes your plants stronger and if your plants are stronger they can provide more nutrients to the earth. I don’t remember the specifics but it’s something like that, hah.
