The fine line between genius and madness
Default For those interested

at 22:00 UT today (the 12th) there will be a meteor shower. That's about 6:00 in the afternoon eastern, 2:00 in the afternoon for those in Cali. So of course you can't see them.

But don't lose heart, at 8:00 UT on the 13th it will happen again. Again, that's about 4:00 am eastern, midninght in califonia where so many of you reside.

Just remember, though it is called a meteor 'shower' many of you still need to use the one indoors to prevent offending the opposite sex.

(corrected wrong times)

In britian we had one a few years back i saw nothing. That was about it though but it was still cool to think that something had happened above my head than just a plane flying over.

Peace Renegade,

It was probably cloudy. You can't see shit if there is even the slightest haze.

6 PM isn't dark enough... I'll have to stay up till 4 AM tomorrow (or tonight I guess) to see it. Hm... I should get me some binoculars. Maybe I'll get a picture of it. All I need now is something to do till 4 AM.

we were meant to have one, and as soon as it was meant to start it started pissing down with rain and getting all cloudy. it would have been nice to see it but im not going to get annoyed about it.

In the north of Sweden there are not meteor showers, but single meteors falling all the time. And northern light too, it�s really cool.

When the shower was at its prime i was in a rock bar listening to a band do a shit ass cover of ace of spades.

And then shit - ive missed the shower. And it was a perfect night.

It was too cloudy here in the detroit area. That pissed me off.
