A full moon rises behind the art deco spire of the old Kansas City and Light building in downtown Kansas City, Mo. Sunday, Oct. 24, 2010(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
I saw this photo while reading an article entitled The Really Strange Story Behind Sunday's Blue Moon which has got to be the most boring and senseless article I've ever read, no offense. It was about blue moons, but some parts might have been interesting and useful too (like the real reason why 13 is unlucky. From the article: 'Occasionally, however, there will come a year when there are 13 full moons during a year, not the usual 12. The almanac explanation continued:
"This was considered a very unfortunate circumstance, especially by the monks who had charge of the calendar of thirteen months for that year, and it upset the regular arrangement of church festivals. For this reason thirteen came to be considered an unlucky number."')
Well, back to the photo. I just think it's cool, with the silhouette of the house (an art deco?) against an enormous full moon. It looks straight out of a horror movie, with the art deco looking like a dilapidated mansion complete with spires. All that's missing is a flash of lightning. And the size of the moon. I've never seen a moon like that, except in movies. I mean, it looks like you can almost touch it or as if it's going to devour you any second. Wish I see a moon like this here. But it might also freak me out.
Two words: Creepily cool.
