Neat!
I didn't realize there was an eclipse yesterday, and wandered outside while it was happening. I asked the family, does it seem oddly dark to you? Upon which I was judged to be out of touch, and informed of the eclipse.
Wounded but seeking to redeem my cred, I whipped up a quick pinhole setup and wow'ed the family with the ability to see the moon transit the sun without looking directly at it. Cred restored.
