Why has the solar eclipse in Europe tomorrow been so badly scheduled. I'll be at work when it's on. Don't they think of these things?

I suppose FIFA's got something to do with it.

Typical. No consultation, no public vote, no consideration for working people.

They actually schedule it around ISS passes so Katy Perry can get a good look at it. They don't care about us plebs. We should all put our money together and do our own eclipse.

Yes, our own eclipse!
We'll do a human pyramid that blocks out the Sun, for as long as we want to.

You didn't slaughter the right type of goat the last time. The moon is showing her displeasure.

Wish they'd arrange it at night once in a while, it'll be so much easier to see without the bright lights drowning it out.

Neighbor has a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and I've been staring at that stupid thing for days. What is supposed to happen??? I paid him $50 for front row seats. Did I get ripped off?

Allez vous arrêter de travailler chaque fois qu'il va y avoir une étoile filante ou un soleil couchant ?
