Sky Darkens on Good Friday?!
Self-explanatory. Today, at exactly 3:00 PM, the sky turns a little dark.

Does this happen to you? (Note: It's about 4:00 PM now here).
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

In other news, as the day progresses past midday, it tends to get less bright.

Re: Sky Darkens on Good Friday?!

Holy crap, he may be on to something, I just looked outside my window and it's REALLY a lot darker out there.




But then, it had better be, it's friggen MIDNIGHT where I am. Maybe if it got a lot BRIGHTER instead, I'd have something to worry about.

Scenario fulfillment strikes again.

Not trying to trample on people's religious beliefs, but when you expect it to get dark early at a specific time on a specific day, you'll accept only the evidence that leads to the fulfillment of that scenario, and ignore any other evidence that doesn't contribute to that.

Re: Sky Darkens on Good Friday?!
Actually, it's the brightest day this week. Sun is baking right in my windows so that I can barely see anything on my screen, and I wish something would darken it up a bit. Spend a couple hours outside just basking earlier, too, plus some general walking around and enjoying the (extremely sunny) weather.

So it seems unlikely it'll happen to me. However, it's still ten minutes to three, so if some dark cloud magically obscures the sun in the next fifteen minutes or so, I'll make sure to get back to you.

Update: A Boeing 747 passed more-or-less overhead around fifteen past three. It must have cast a shadow somewhere nearby. Does that count? Other than that, still sunny, and no dark clouds of doom.

At 3:47 today, Snail turned off the lights when exiting a room. Consequently, the room was noticeably darker.

Did it create a contrail that eventually resembled the Virgin Mary?

YES!!! It was elongated with protrusions on either side somewhere just before the middle. Also, the contrails reflected the light in a most Halo-like manner, and I believe I may have heard a choir of angels* singing in the background. T'was truly a revelation.

*Choir of Angels may or may not have been an icecream salesman
