Paris - Those who say eclipses herald history-shaping events will find support for their superstition when, on Friday, the sun will be briefly plunged into darkness on the day of Pope John Paul II's funeral.

Astronomers, though, say the eclipse, while of a rare and intriguing type, was calculated long ago and is simply part of a ballet in celestial physics between the sun, earth and moon.

It will be visible on Friday along an arc ranging from the southwestern Pacific to South America, at a time it will already be night in Rome.

1. Heh

From Malachy's prophesy:

Pope JOHN PAUL II, 1978 -
Latin motto = DE LABORE SOLIS
Interpreted to mean - (a) From the toil of the sun (b) Of the eclipse of the sun

Now that I think of, this DE LABORE SOLIS suits also the Peak Oil, when half of suns usable energy stored inside Earth has been used, which also spells the end of age of modernity and capitalism.

3. Who knows what Skulls & Bones may rattle

in the dark, dank catacombs beneath the "Eternal City" while Poppy & Chimpy & corporate cronies "mourn."

Who knows what odd or ominous occult activity may unfold?

Footnote of interest: Tom DeLay's birthday is tomorrow, April 8. He is getting nailed by this eclipse.

"Darkness at the break of noon,
Shadows even the silver spoon,
The handmade blade, the child's balloon,
Eclipses both the sun and moon." - B. Dylan

5. So it's actually 9 hours after the funeral

not during it at all.
