Eclipse
Every so often a giant dragon will swoop down from the heavens above to eat the giant fiery hydrogen death ball of infinite cancer. If you follow the much cooler Norse Mythology version, Fenrir Wolf will eat the sun and quickly shit it out after getting his ass kicked by the Asgardian badass Tyr. Unfortunately, if you're a kowtowing rug jockey your religion won't allow you to go outside and watch this marvel of astronomy with your naked eyes, like you should. Most likely, your Mullah will put out an order and demand that everyone come to the mosque, dressed in their best suicide vest and pray from when the eclipse starts until the giant monster above becomes frightened by your prayers and spits the sun out of his mouth, failing to eat it. We wish we were joking.
Why The 2017 Eclipse Was So Important
2017 was the first eclipse to occur over the Continental Jewnited States of Americunts in 99 years. What this meant was that scientists didn't have to go trampling off to some shithole third world country full of terrorists and risk getting their head chopped off by some crazed sand-eater for "just because" reasons. Otherwise, as over 75% of the world is covered in water, most solar eclipses happen over water making them hard to observe, because astronomers either have to be on a ship that will be in that location or be on a plane following it in order to record and collect data.
The unfortunate consequence is that every fuckwit in the world will be broadcasting these events telling us about aliens and Xenu.
If you missed out on the 2017 one (because you were in jail, chained to a radiator, you couldn't get out of work, or your mom was afraid of giant moon rabbits invading Earth), there will be another one on 8 April 2024.
What Exactly Is An Eclipse
Really? If you're one of those Giant Terrestrial Land Hydra - Flying Spaghetti Monster twits that can't believe the truth when we tell you that a Giant Scandanavian Wolf, born when an angry dwarf fucked a horse, is eating the sun then we'll amuse you with the lie. An eclipse is when an astronomical body is temporarily obscured by a second body as it passes between the primary body and the viewer in what is known as syzygy or a straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies in a gravitational system. After such a nice triple point, scrabble word like syzygy, most of you will stick with the easier example that a giant wolf is eating the sun.
Eclipse Safety
First and foremost, despite what you've heard, staring at a solar eclipse at the moment it achieves totality is perfectly safe because it's only the moon you are looking at. If there was any danger of looking at the moon don't you think there'd be warnings about doing it at night? You can look all you want at the moon at night with nothing happening to your eyes so how can it be any more dangerous during a total eclipse? In fact, you can even view the moon through a light amplifying tool like a telescope with no ill effects – so how can an eclipse be bad?
All this talk about infrared and ultraviolet radiation is nothing but lies; have you ever heard of anyone getting a sunburn at night? If for some reason your mom is bitching you out about blue shift, radiation, and other made up crap that doesn't exist, all you need is a good pair of Raybans and you'll be perfectly safe because they advertise themselves as being able to filter out 100% of all these made-up things.
Besides, the reason why no one wants you to look at the moon unprotected during an eclipse is because you'll be able to see the rabbits living on its surface mining marshmallow topping. So go ahead, stare away.
The ED Eclipse Mythos
- The reason the Diamond Ring event happens during an eclipse is because Chris-chan is trying to win over another girl that he has fallen in love with by offering her jewelry.
- It has been written that Schnitzel and The Pondcat will bring about the end of the world when they roll the sun up in a fat-one and smoke it. This is why there is always a ring of fire associated with an eclipse.
- Some have said an eclipse happens because Girlvinyl's fatass is getting in the way of the sun. Make sure you scream, "Move your fatass out of the way Girlvinyl" at the sky to make the eclipse go away.
- Some have said that BakaRed went on a bender and is pissing on the sun making it go out.
- The Liberals were right and Our Great God Emperor Hero set up his Sun blocking machine!
- Trolls showed up at Null's mother's house again so he turned out the Sun and is hiding under the bed.
- Terrorists are blowing up the Sun.
- It's Goatse!
- God is rolling his eyes at all the little Trolling Induced Transsexuality Syndrome faggots.
- It's a Darwin Test designed by God himself to weed out the dumbass, dirty potheads and the Short Bus Squad by getting them to stare at the sun and melt their eyes right out of their heads.
- After a 3-hour mathematics lecture by Carl Sagan on the Ouija Board, it's a predictable astronomical event where the moon blocks the sun and casts a shadow on the Earth. Seriously? Who would ever believe this line of Bullshit?

Disclaimer
The writer of this article is a mean spirited Jews and is pissed off for one reason or another, most likely because someone tried to steal his Jew Gold or because he met his girlfriend's mother and peered exactly 25 years into the future. You should not take any of his advice about looking into the sun at any time. If you are dumb enough to look into an eclipse, you deserve to have your eyes melted out of your head and have an article written about you where everyone can point and laugh at your stupidity.
