Well, sort of...
I was listening to a local radio station while doing some work around the house when a batch of commercials came on. One included the announcer interviewing the Sun (I'm not sure what the commercial was for, maybe an amusement park). Okay, interviewing the Sun is bad astronomy, but toward the end of the commercial the Sun was asked what he was doing this summer and he replied that he was taking it easy, except for "that eclipse in August." Apparently, the ad agency actually did a little research before making the spot. How unusual. ![]()
