I give you the "The Earth shifted on its Axis, that's why we have bad weather and global warming" website

Divulgence.net is a site trying to convince everyone that the Earth shifted on its axis recently.

Compelling reasoning here:

What caused the slippage?
The melting of the polar regions has thrown off the balance of the earth. As the glaciers have nearly melted, the weight at the north pole has decreased. This has allowed the heavier, wider portion of the earth at the equator to start slipping downward, thus increasing the tilt significantly.

NASA - Total Lunar Eclipse: August 28, 2007

A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the early morning of Tuesday, August 28, 2007. The event is widely visible from the United States and Canada as well as South America, the Pacific Ocean, western Asia and Australia. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray.
An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped parts, one nested inside the other. The outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth blocks some (but not all) of the Sun's rays. In contrast, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.

Someone seems to have allowed the joke to fly over his head.

From the Scientific American Web Site:

A solar eclipse occurs when the earth rotates on its axis such that the sun is blocked from view. Although the earth's moon can commonly be seen during a solar eclipse, it is actually a reflection of the sun's light, and not light directly from the sun itself.

The solar eclipse was fist documented by Piny the Elder (Gaius Plinius Secundus) in 68 A.D. However, cave drawings from Chauvet Pont D'Arc in Souther France indicate they may have been observed by Neanderthals as long as 25,000 years ago.

The solar eclipse is common in both the Hemispheres and can best be observed during the new moon. Winter is the ideal time for viewing in the Western Hemisphere due to the longer duration of the eclipse.

Unlike a lunar eclipse no special precautions are required to prevent loss of eyesight due to burning of the retina. However, observers in remote locations during a new moon have reported some of the symptoms of blindness.

The next solar eclipse is expected this evening - just after dark.
