FUNNY: Solar Eclipse Occurs In Twitterverse

The “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse that left an unconfirmed 38 million West Coast Americans blind had a less damaging effect on the East Coast, where people are too smart ever to look directly at the sun. (OK, we know that's a fantasy lead to this story — but we can't help but be bitter over here in New York City, it's sort of our thing.)

Here are ten funny tweets about that miraculous thing you call an “eclipse” and what we like to refer to as “just a shadow”:
