A few years ago, as a solar eclipse approached, some planetarium directors in Southern California sent out warnings to the community about the eclipse. Experience shows that daytime darkness leads to accidents among Idiots, and also they have been known to stare at the partially eclipsed sun and blind themselves. (Honest. It really happens.) The planetarium received an indignant letter from a local Idiot. She said that if an eclipse was so dangerous, they never should have decided to hold one and ought to cancel it.
