Very true, Chrissi! It's easy to chuckle at the primitive tribes in the movies when they tremble during an eclipse, but something as enormous as the sun being extinguished is nothing anyone can take lightly. In a similar vein, a few years ago I was staying in a country home's guest house in Virginia while I did a job there. We were far from city lights, and the road was blocked by forested land. At night it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and it was totally quiet. I felt completely isolated, and I could see why all the superstitious tales about The Forest had sprung up in ancient and medieval times. It seemed that anything could have been lurking in those woods, and I felt very uneasy and vulnerable, being a city girl all these years.
And perhaps we've never got much further than that, when you hear people cry and carry on about the President of a country wanting to exterminate the old people......
Anos means Anus.

I should have that put on a t-shirt.
That'd be a sight better than what's under your avatar now...
