Is it un-Philadelphian to choose couscous over a cheesesteak?

So tomorrow is the night of the Snow Moon (the name for February's full moon), and we're expecting, you guessed it, a snow storm. Ah-ha, Nature, you're so funny.

Seriously, though, the moon was looking rather spectacular this evening which brightened things up for me (both literally and figuratively, natch).

And now for a moment of zen: Astronomers discover first invisible galaxy. "The universe has all sorts of secrets still to reveal to us, but this shows that we are beginning to understand how to look at it in the right way," said astronomer Jon Davies of Cardiff University in the UK."

Man, I love science. It's so riddled with irony.

Mmm. Couscous.

Science and irony both totally rule. ^_^ And I was unaware that each of the full moons of the year had a name. Huh. Learn something new every day!

Yeah, the moon thing is definitely random, fairly useless information, but I enjoy learning about it, anyway. The list of the moon names for the rest of the year can be found here (http://space.com/spacewatch/full_moon_names_2005.html) at Space.com (a veritable wealth of nifty facts and even niftier speculations).

And before I forget, check your email, comrade. :^D
