NOT
A POLE COLLEGE, A REAL COLLEGE!
Unlike most of America, I did not see the lunar eclipse the other
night. Not because I didn’t know about it, because I fucking
did! I didn’t see it because, unlike most of uneducated
America, I know that you can’t look at an eclipse without
permanently damaging your retinas and corneas. So, I chose not
to look at it directly. Instead, I fashioned a viewing tube from
my milk carton periscope. And before any of you clowns make any
jokes about my submarine having screen doors, well fuck you, I
don’t have a submarine!
Scientifically speaking, lunar eclipses smell an awful lot like
spoiled dairy. I can only surmise it has to do with the theory
that the moon is made of cheese and that somehow the increased
gravity and radiation caused by the ecliption enhances either
the scent itself, or perhaps man’s ability to sniff. Personally,
I never much believed the cheese theory, but you can’t argue
with college science. That’s right… college. College
made me smart and I’m smart enough to know we’ll never
know for certain, at least not until we have the Star Trek-like
ability to travel beyond our own galaxy… all the way to
the moon.
