Sinister: Christ, it's dark in here

As predicted, my desktop eclipse was a huge success. The desklamp sun
stayed at full brightness until the approach of the Tetley's-sodden,
beermat moon, at which point it went thru all kinds of crescentish
mullarkey, and then disappeared entirely at exactly 11:11, when I
turned the lamp off. After two minutes of total darkness and freezing
cold (the air conditioning in this building never was much cop), "God"
(i.e. me) turned the sun back on again, and got back to work.

It was what I could only call a mystical experience. I'm now thinking
of jacking in all this computer-fixing rubbish to become a Swami.

Ommmm.........

lol p xx.

  He laughed like this:

  I told him I wasn't the only one."
