Eclipse Across Asia Means Doom (Or Creativity, Depending)

By Ernie | Wednesday, July 22, 2009 | No Comments

A giant solar eclipse was seen across Asia, where crowds in India, China and Nepal peered to take a look and astrologers predicted demons, floods, violence and nothing short of Armageddon. Not so with American astrologers, where we’re just told the eclipse will signal the birth of creative impulses. Goddamn hippies.
