Faerie test

Sexy - Your body is your temple. Playful, and at
times childish and ditzy, you can be smarter
than you look when you actually try to be.
Whatever is fluffy, cute and attracts the
opposite sex is on the top of your list.

Transit of Mercury

This morning Mercury passed in front of the Sun, which doesn't happen very often.The astrologers usually come up with all sorts of waffle about mystical planetary fluxes being extra powerful, leading to prophetic announcements about silly floods and other freak weather, and probably some nonsense about planet energy and the like being strong and leading to 'significant personal events'. Which the more romantic side of me would love to believe was true, but I'm wanting to see a little bit of evidence first.

Carl set up a telescope this morning outside the department, and projected the shadow of Mercury onto a nice large bit of paper. Probably the most fascinating little black dot I've seen in a very long time. With a bit of imagination, I could envisage that teensy weensy dot really being a huge lump of rock moving through the vacuum, passing directly between the Sun and the Earth. The dot crawled along at a leisurely pace across the face of the Sun, looking much like a circular ant on its way to find some food. If I didn't know better, I'd start thinking Mercury was not a planet but a giant ant basking in the glare of the Sun. I think this says a lot about the state of my brain right now.

Anyone else see the Transit? *wonders*
