The moon, Venus and Jupiter Smile on Earth

Last Sunday I left the house in the evening and saw a strange phenomenon in the sky. The moon, Venus and Jupiter are currently set in a rare alignment and form something that looks like a smiley. The smiley can only be seen in some parts of the world and apparently, people in the United States see a frowning face (Maybe Lie, my friend in Washington, can confirm this?). Of course, this wouldn't be the Philippines if people wouldn't try to read special messages into it, so some astrologists are trying to read President Arroyo's fate in this coincidental, but funny phenomenon.

Jammer, maar te laat! :D

Rare dingen doet de maan daar bij jullie, hier in de VS - voor zij die ervan wisten tenminste - moest je toch fameus je hoofd in een onnatuurlijke bocht wringen om een smiley te zien, maar toch.

De groetjes ginder aan de andere kant!
