• Eclipse

  The Lunar eclipse from last night.  The clear sky made it so impressing.  The next one will be in 2010.  China lunar probe to meet moon eclipse    BEIJING, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) — China’s first lunar probing satellite, Chang’e-1, will be put to test Thursday morning when the Earth eclipses the Sun and blocks the supply of solar energy.     From about 10 a.m., the satellite will be hidden from the solar rays and lost the contact from the Earth for two and a half hours, said Ye Peijian, chief commander and designer in charge of the satellite system.  Two Troublemakers A couple had two little mischievous boys, ages 8 and 10. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame. The boys’ mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed and asked to see them individually. So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon. The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?” The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open. The clergyman repeated the question. “Where is God?” Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. So, the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “Where is God!?” The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?” The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied: “We are in real BIG trouble this time! God is missing, and they think we did it!” I googled: “california” and “ban” and “2007″  Results: California Ban on Spanking California wants to ban teens texting … California schools ban masked … California Seeks to Ban Investment in Iran  California Moves to Ban Incandescent Light Bulbs California lead bullet ban moves forward Bills to Ban Toxic Chemicals in California California Cities Can Ban Declawing California to Ban Ozone Air Purifiers California May Ban Old Light Bulbs California city may ban oleanders California lawmaker would ban mutts with mandatory neutering bill California moves closer to trans-fat ban California Enacts New Smoking Ban – In Cars & finally from the People Republic of California: California to Ban Marriage?
