Your Eclipse Questions, ANSWERED

The eclipse is almost upon us, and there's a lot that people don't know, like "Who really killed JFK?" and "How many mice are living behind the oven?" You submitted questions, here are the answers:


Why does the solar eclipse happen?


A solar eclipse happens because God is angry with us.

Like pissed. Really pissed.

Humans have displeased God, so as punishment, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. This is a punishment, obviously, because big shadows are bad and scary.

 There's no way to know why exactly why God is mad, as biblical scholars are split. Most, however, believe he is pissed off because of either gay people or The Emoji Movie.

Should I look directly at the solar eclipse?


Do whatever you want, I'm not your dad.

Unless...

What if I am your dad? If I am, then you SHOULD look at the solar eclipse. I want you to go blind. I don't want you to have to look upon the face of the father that abandoned you, even if it was unintentional.

I know that's selfish of me, but the shame is just overbearing. I don't want you to be able to see me watching you from afar while you're playing in the park with your friends. If you don't see me then I won't have to approach you and apologize for not being there to teach you how to play catch or make crepes.

What can I do to see the eclipse if my employer won't let me leave work to see it?


If your employer won't let you see the eclipse, challenge them to a duel. If your job has a "no dueling" policy, tell them that your religion requires that you put on dumbass glasses and look up at the sky.

To do this, you'll have to make sure your religion seems legitimate. You'll need some sort of Bible, so get a blank notebook and write "Holy Book of Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky." You'll also have to establish a website and/or Facebook page to make it look like your religion is actually established. Do this by creating events such as "Vacation Holy Book of Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky School" and "Movie Night: Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky's Not Dead." Lastly, create between one and one thousand deities that you can pretend to show devotion to. Some deity name ideas are Dumbassio Glassesion, Looking Up at the Sky Fella, and Phil. If you make it believable, your employer will be forced to allow you to put on dumbass glasses and look up at the sky.


Or you could just watch the eclipse through the window.

Who would win in a fight, the Sun or the Moon?


The Moon would win in a game of chess because the Sun doesn't have hands.

The Sun would win in a dance off, but only if they were able to pick the songs.

Neither would win in a sailboat race across the Pacific Ocean, because they would both end up working together and realizing that their friendship is what really matters, and not their silly grade-school rivalry.

How long can we expect the organizers of the eclipse to black out the Sun? Do the counter protesters have a permit?


The protest will last until the Earth gives Buzz Aldrin back to the Moon.

The counter protesters do have a permit, but they have been confined to a small section of the Earth called the Western Hemisphere.

Is this the liberal media trying to erase our memory?

The mainstream media don't want me to tell you this, but                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 because if you found out                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  with a spatula, or                                                                                     wearing a tutu

Painful Pain

With my eyes I cry, the tears tear tears In my skin, like shards of glass. And I bleed emotion. Emotion that cuts at my heart, like another shard of glass, And breaks it, like a rock through a pane of glass. A pane that is painful whenever it is touched and falls apart like a shattering of glass. A shattering that scatters my smattered pain. Painful pain, full of glass and empty burrito wrappers

Now is Not the Time to Politicize the Tragedies That Have Happened Inside This Haunted House

In wake of recent events, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims who went missing after our group split up inside the abandoned house to find any valuable heirlooms that had been left behind after the late homeowner died under mysterious circumstances. This tragedy is unspeakable, because many of our mouths have been sealed shut by some otherworldly substance, and I send my warmest condolences to whichever dimension our friends’ souls are tethered to. Right now is a time for consoling the survivors, and mourning the loss of our beloved companion, who told us that she didn't believe in ghosts, right before a phantom emerged from a dusty hallway mirror and pulled her into it. We will never forget the terrified look in her eyes as she pounded her fists on the glass that she was trapped behind. My thoughts and prayers are also with the couple who we heard screaming in what we believe was the very bedroom where the dead body of a priest was found, his lifeless hands clutchin...

9 Questions to NEVER Ask a Gay Person

As a gay person, it’s common to get frustrating questions. If you consider yourself an ally and have asked one of these before, reconsider how you interact with queer people! 1 .) "How many people have you killed?" Wow... just, no. The fact that someone dates people of the same gender does NOT mean they're also a serial murderer. Don't just assume that your gay coworker has a mass grave in their backyard: if they've taken the lives of several people, trust me, they'll tell you! 2.)  " So who's the man and who's the woman in the relationship? " Not everyone speaks English. Its offensive to assume that everyone speaks the same language as you. Newsflash: America doesn't have a national language, so not everyone is going to know what you're saying. Try to be understanding of the fact that some Americans never learned English. 3.)  " What's the circumference of the earth? " There's nothin...

CULTURE MUSINGS: How is the new Aladdin different from the original?

This Memorial Day weekend, Disney released Aladdin, the live-action version of one of its most popular movies based on the life of U.S. President Warren G. Harding's youngest son. While the adaption mostly stays true to the original, some eagle-eyed fans might have noticed these changes in Guy Ritchie's remake. The events of the live action film do not end up causing the Hindenburg disaster. It is heavily implied in the 1992  Aladdin  film that the main character inadvertently creates a chain reaction through history that end up resulting in the 1937 explosion of the Hindenburg, starting with a chase scene at the beginning of the film. As Aladdin runs from palace guards, he bumps into a man who looks very similar to Ludwig Durr, the designer of the Hindenburg. John Musker and Ron Clements, the directors of the animated film, confirmed in several interviews that the man is indeed the airship designer's ancestor, and that Aladdin's collision with him has dire conse...
