Knew that. Was just quoting the final spoken lyrics of 'Eclipse' by Pink Floyd.

BTW, there is an eclipse this weekend.

Lunar Eclipse to turn moon red
Quote:
Stargazers across North and South America, Europe and Africa will watch the full moon dim into a dark, ruddy orb over the weekend as the moon drifts through Earth's shadow in the latest celestial event this year to pull eyes skyward. ... The eclipse reaches totality at 8:06 p.m. Saturday night, EST. That stage -- when the moon, Earth and sun are lined up precisely and the moon passes through the darkest part of Earth's shadow -- lasts just 24 minutes.
