If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

He was a good comedian and an icon for many, but the truth is, he was real a**hole in life and many people are glad he is gone. Just saying...

Must be a generation thing, 'cuz I never cared for him--and it's not like I don't have the ability to recognize and appreciate "the classics".

The guy was 91 and most of his best work was probably 60 years ago. I'm not sure JLs stuff qualifies as classic, slapstick comedy doesn't have the gravitas of most other genres.

True enough - still, I can appreciate the comic genius of the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy, even if they were, to a large extent, slapstick, and also look dated today. But I always thought Jerry Lewis's antics were just...dumb.
But who am I to disparage him in a thread announcing his death.

Isn't Junkie XL an American too now? I think he changed his name too, as "Junkie" is offensive in America *laughs in Dutch*

Nice, I've seen enough movies with his work and he works with some big composers, but I can't say I'd recognize his music

So you really wanted me to click that by telling me not to click it? It worked.
I like his rock n roll music.
But what I really like(d as a kid): Rock-A-Doodle (1991) - IMDb[^]

So who here is taking off work to watch the eclipse? (In North America, that is)
I've had the day off scheduled about 4 weeks in advance, and I'm going to be gathering with my astronomy club at a National Park Service event in NJ. We'll all have our telescopes and solar binoculars ready to go. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I envy you your chance to see a Solar eclipse. No such eclipses are predicted for Israel for the next few hundred years 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We're a bit luckier. Next total solar eclipse will be in year 2135 here. Mere 118 years to go.

I'm going to be taking a couple pieces of paper off the copy machine and a paper clip and make a pinhole camera. Won't have totality up here in Albany though.

I've seen an 80+% eclipse in Israel, but I'm told that the difference between it and a total eclipse is like the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

So I've heard too. I haven't gone eclipse chasing, and the one time I had a chance to see one, it was overcast.

Pinhole camera view -> WOW! I did that when I was a kid when the last one (incompletely) rolled in.

They are really freaky.
In 30 seconds it goes dark, and cold, and the birds think it is dusk and start squaking.
It is a very surreal experience, worth doing!

I'll be at my neighborhood pool swimming . I'm well north of Atlanta, and we'll be at 95+% eclipse level - good enough for me.
Regrets: should have bought up solar eclipse glasses, could easily turn a 300% profit right now.
