-Nifty-
There's going to be a lunar eclipse tonight and the good folks at NASA have created a page to help you determine what time it'll be in your area. A color graph shows what happens during an eclipse, a map shows the intensity of the effect across the Earth, and what can only be called a schedule makes it easy to find the times in your sky.

-Headline of the day-
"100-year-old celebrates her birthday by smoking 170,000th cigarette." Winnie Langley, of Croydon, South London, has apparently spent the past 100 years counting all the smokes she's lit up. Call it an oddly examined life. (Daily Mail)
-I've got a bridge to sell you-
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is a little short on funding, so the city is looking at ways to fund it through corporate sponsorship. With a projected deficit of $80 million, the sponsorship would allow ads on the bridge. According to the report, "...at the plan's formal unveiling on Friday, the emphasis was on the various ways that the Golden Gate might take on advertisements without really taking on ADVERTISEMENTS!"
So let me get this straight, someone out there thinks that McDonalds for example, is going to pay a big chunk of $80 million for a mention on the Historical Marker? Yeah, I don't think so. Look for it to be renamed the Golden Arches Bridge in the near future. (NYT)
