INTERGALACTIC FARCE

For days clever people with wierd hair and glasses have been telling us how astonishing todays Transit of Venus is going to be, and how privileged we are to see it. And then, in a typical scientist twist tell us we can't look at it. This is supposedly to protect our eyes, but I suspect the reason is simply that it is unbelieveably dull! I've seen the clips on CNN and it is just not spectacular. It's like a small mobile zit on the face of the sun.

For those who care there are photos and streaming of the event here
