The Funniest Eclipse Tweets

How about that eclipse, huh? The sun totally didn’t see that coming. The moon did what man has striven for for millennia: it blotted that dumb blinding blob right out of the sky. Stupid sun.
Sadly the moment has already passed. Helios has reconvened his eternal assault upon our unsuspecting skin. The sun burns us once again. Shit.
Fortunately technology is not as fleeting as the cosmic ballet. These tweets will endure forever, whose sneer of cold command tell that their tweeters well those passions read which yet survive, or whatever. They’re timeless, unlike the eclipse, which fizzled out like a wet bottle rocket.
Get pumped for the chucks.
During the eclipse, DO NOT look right at the sun. Make yourself look big, make noise, and back away slowly. Don’t provoke a solar attack.

After today there will be two kinds of people in this world: people who saw the eclipse, and people I want to talk to at parties

I have made an eclipse viewer using whatever holy book is most important to you.
