Warning!: if you're easily offended, skip this!
" The American TV show "Better Off Ted" did an episode about a mistyped memo that told employees to use offensive and abusive language in the workplace . The episode that aired had PG rated insults for broadcast, but some *way* more vulgar outtakes were cut together for their gag reel. Some of these are pretty filthy".

A solar eclipse that reduced the sun to a blazing ring surrounding a sombre disk plunged millions of people in Africa and Asia into an eerie semi-darkness.
The spectacle, visible in a roughly 300-kilometre band running 12,900 kilometres across the globe, set a record for the longest annular eclipse that will remain unbeaten for more than a thousand years.
An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun but does not completely obscure it, thus leaving a ring - an annulus - of sunlight flaring around the lunar disk.

Amazing. Can you imagine what primitive people would make of the phenomenon. _________________
