You probably could've seen this (partial) eclipse. It could be seen in Sweden as well, so I think it would've been visible in Estonia too. However, since I didn't have the right equipment I couldn't see anything. The sun was still shining way too much for the eclipse to be noticeable, at least were I live.

I've seen 2 partial eclipses it's a really neat experience the temperature really drops and the air changes it gets cooler. There were little suns reflected all over the ground it was really neat. The sun looked kind of bluish green during one of the eclipses.I used a pinhole camera to watch the eclipses.

Did you guys already see this 2007 article about a guy who emulated Spock by bleeding green blood???

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6733203.stm

I was googling Vulcan medicine (and not having much luck). I know I read stuff somewhere before...

I've read that article before. Human blood can also be blue in color in certain conditions.

Yeah, I've heard of it being blue, b/c it's blue when it's not very oxygenated right? But under what conditions can be it be green? Maybe... if you bled into Martian atmosphere and it filled with CO2? lol, who knows what color'd it be then.

[Entilzha]

No I mean blue from to much I think it was silver in blood. The guy looked like a smurf (the skin was also blue). He self medicated with some kind of silver compound.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria that's the reason his skin turned blue. The other reason for blue skin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanosis

Well I could use a personal cloaking generator so I could kick some ass in a certain neighboring country.

After seeing the consequences I wouldn't recomend it But we could build a gigantic hand, visible from the space, that would point at Kosovo and we could write in it with very big and bright letters the legend: "We told you so (signed by Cyprus, Romania, Serbia, Georgia (obviously) and Spain. Russia wanted to sign, but it's very busy invading other countries and drinking vodka)".

Anyway... Has anybody watched the Perseids?
