A nice addition to the display.

"Another astronomical treat that could be seen tonight and for the next two nights is the annual Geminid meteor shower, one of the year’s best displays of shooting stars. Up to 100 meteors an hour can fly across the sky. The meteors, which are easy to spot with the naked eye, appear to shoot out from the constellation Gemini, hence their name, but they can be seen all over the sky. However, with a full moon so bright, the best place to look is away from the Moon.

Meteor showers happen when the Earth passes through clouds of debris shed from comets. As the tiny fragments smash into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at about 100,000mph, they burn up in streaks of light.

For reasons that are not understood, the Geminid meteor showers are tending to grow stronger each year. "

I'd enhance that with shooting stars!

Moon half eclipsed.

I wonder how long it'll be before breast implants fall out of fashion and booty implants are all the rage?
TheMercenary • Dec 13, 2008 5:54 am
That woman required no booty implants. That is fine just the way it is.

There are people who would have said that about her original boobs, too. You never know what's going to be considered attractive for future generations.

Can't worry about the future. Just enjoy the moment.

I like it when a lady has two christmas hams in her britches.
SteveDallas • Dec 14, 2008 10:49 pm
Already baked? Or raw? And what's your position on glazing the hams?
TheMercenary • Dec 15, 2008 4:21 pm
Glazing can be good in the right conditions, but keeping it burried and internally injecting and basting is an effective method of curring.

sadly it was cloudy here when the moon was big'in it up. But I live in Blighty, so what's new?
