thx maxwell!

time for an astronomy lesson.

this easter weekend brings us one of zombie jesus's many gifts for which we are perpetually indebted until we repay Him with the forgiveness of a thousand slaughtered bunnies. i think that's how the bible goes. anyway, listen up!

Traditionally, the April full moon is known as "the Pink Moon," supposedly as a tribute to the grass pink or wild ground phlox, considered one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other monikers include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and, among coastal Native American tribes, the Full Fish Moon, for when the shad came upstream to spawn.

The first full moon of spring is usually designated as the Paschal Full Moon or the Paschal Term. Traditionally, Easter is observed on the Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. If the Paschal Moon occurs on a Sunday, Easter is the following Sunday.

Following these rules, we find that the date of Easter can fall as early as March 22 and as late as April 25. Pope Gregory XIII decreed this in 1582 as part of the Gregorian calendar. So according to the current ecclesiastical rules, Easter Sunday in 2012 is to be celebrated April 8. (via)

everyone keep your peepers open for the full sprouting grass moon tonight! also, watch where you step because i heard thomas wilhelm's shad came upstream to spawn, iykwim.

i used to be a gemini

and as far as i'm concerned, i will go on being a gemini forever! according to some astronomers, zodiac charts need to be updated to reflect changes in the position of the earth relative to the sun as caused by the gravitational effect of the moon.

the zodiac hasn't been changed in 3,000 years, but maybe it should be, according to this.

im supposed to be a taurus now. oh yeah right. new chart here.

other people say, "sheesh this is old news."

joe versus the volcano

there's a reason the moon never shows it's backside...

movie reviewz

well. this is awkward.

i'm glad i didn't care enough to set my alarm clock and wake up at 7.30am and go up on the roof to peep through my giant telescope, because what a horrible disappointment the NASA moon bombing turned out to be. all over the place, people were having viewing parties or making early morning treks to their nearest observatory to witness what was supposed to be a 6 mile plume of debris exploding off the moon's surface.

instead, not only could you not see anything from earth...you couldnt even see anything from the satellite that was following right behind the missile. thanks a lot, NASA. for nothing!

NASA's going to bomb the shit out of the moon!

for real!
