once in a blue moon...

so random trivial fact for you all...

this saturday we will all be lucky enough to experience an actual blue moon. no, the moon won't actually be blue, but the second full moon to appear within the same calandar month. just heard this today on the morning talk shows and thought it was interesting because i always just thought "blue moons" were just a fictitious way of saying "there's no fucking chance."

then they really can't call it a "blue moon" now can they?

What a rip off

does this mean Hell is going to freeze over? and pigs are going to fly? cats living with dogs?

all the full moons have names..

for example:

• Full Harvest Moon - September This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.

I'll be too busy drinking beer to notice.....

WILL there be blue werewolves??
