Which of the following is true?

During the recent total solar eclipse the planet saw a series of unusual events -


  • The president saw the face of god in the sun when looked at without protective glasses
  • Birds flew backwards for a period of 2 minutes during totality - exception being a turkey in Hawaii which did not see the eclipse at all and had no way to communicate with its fellow birds of a feather on the mainland to figure out the ins and outs of reverse flight
  • The stock market stopped displaying any price movement for 2 minutes of totality except the price of bitcoin which surged 10,000% for the same period and then promptly went down to 3 dollars as the sun shone
  • All traffic lights in America were stuck on yellow as a show of solidarity against darkness on the yellow sun
  • People in the midwest states witnessed the event and took the darkness as a sign to go back to bed.
  • Water from the great lakes region tasted warmer than usual.  This according to a marine biologist who studies fresh water salmon behavior.
  • Several thousand UFO flew right past the viewers in all states during the eclipse but not a single report was filed as people were mesmerized by the unusual phenomenon of our sun being blocked out by a tiny moon.  This according to the Japanese satellite agency who had a geo synchronous satellite stationed over Omaha at that time.
  • Sasha Baron Cohen produced a new movie about the eclipse during the time it took the sun to cross from the west to the east.  The movie is aptly titled - 'Now What?'
  • Not to be outdone Michael Moore has announced that he too has a project that will soon wrap up and be presented to the head of NASA titled - 'So What?'

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...
