As long as it isn't a hoot owl that's been howling by your window now, for six nights in a row ...

Must be a reference to some movie.

Harry Potter, maybe?

It means David Bowie is about to swoop in with his goblin army and steal your baby stepbrother. All you have to do is say the right words.

When an owl hoots outside your window someone is going to die.Or that's the folklore anyway.Sure something is going to die,and I imagine it will be the rat I heard chewing last night.Maybe the owl got him,I'm obviously still here,whew.Thought I was a goner :lol:

Y2K....nothing happened.....December 21st 2012...nothing happened. Any other day these doomsayers make a date, and its not going to happen. These guys are usually bible thumpers and conspiracy theorists!

I'm talking about folklore,like if a spider drops down in front of you,you're going to have a visitor.You mean you never watched the Beverly Hillbillies Raptor?And bullfrogs do turn dark an hour before rain.If a rooster crows before he goes to bed,he'll wake up with a wet head,also true.And when it rains and the sun is shining,the devils whuppin' his wife.If your nose itches,someone's gonna come in holdin' their britches.If you get a weird shiver,someone's walkin' on your grave.Dream of the dead,hear from the living.I could go on and on.

Google "Riding Wildfire" for the lyrics (one of the sappiest songs ever to come out of the 1970s).

Have a barf bag handy.

This? Yes, it is too syrupy. I have heard it before but had no idea this was what you were talking about

The funny thing is that a 'supermoon' hasn't got anything to do with distance to Earth. I think it's rather amusing that some people see astronomical events as portents of some disaster (yes, that was a very bad pun).


The funny thing is that the "super" moon is super precisely because it is closer to earth. The Moon does not change size by if it is at it perilunion at the full phase it will look bigger because is is closer.

Sometimes you have a moon that looks huge on the horizon,but if you bend over and look at it between your legs it will be normal sized.
