[Icon][Icon]New Year's eve moon

• Post categories: Omni

So how many of you saw the full moon on the last day of 2009?

And how many of you knew it was the proverbial rare event, a BLUE moon?

It's not often that you have two full moons in one month, but when you do, the second is called a blue moon.

Bit of trivia for you there

Well, actually, it seems that the common definition of a blue moon being that of a second moon in one month was based off of a misinterpretation, so it could be argued as false.

Of course I didn't know any of that... I didn't even know what a blue moon was, but I don't really need to tell you all that. We live in a nice world where you can search up anything and pretend to be a know it all online.
