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.
