Four nights a year, the streets of Manhattan’s grid become the site for a spectacular sunset phenomenon known as “Manhattanhenge.” As Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson, who discovered the phenomenon and coined the term “Manhattanhenge,” explains in his Hayden Planetarium blog, Manhattanhenge takes place “when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan’s brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough’s grid. A rare and beautiful sight.” 

View Manhattanhenge tonight at 8:17 pm and tomorrow at 8:16 pm. Tweet your photos of the phenomenon @AMNH with the hashtag #Manhattanhenge or email them to comments@amnh.org for a chance to win two tickets to our Manhattanhenge program on July 11.

Posting this because I’m so phenomenally dead:

1. Feist

2. My Farmville avatar (in a sparkly fairy costume)

3. The last movie I watched was Thor - THE RIFFTRAX VERSION. So instead of Thor and Loki I guess I’d get an incoherent Odin spreading Nutella on a cat or something.

In conclusion: THE WORLD IS DOOMED, except for Feist who I suspect is secretly a pretty good zombie killer.

1. Adam Lambert

2. I never play anything… hm, I guess the last time I actually played anything that wasn’t Minesweeper (—although I’ll take a mine or two on my zombie apocalypse team if that sort of thing is allowed—) it was Angry Birds. So, some Angry Birds.

3. The flippin’ Avengers.

It’s looking AWESOME.

1. Meat Loaf

2. Hawke (Dragon Age 2) (mine being a 2-handed berserker with straightforward personality) 

3. Thor & Loki

Unfortunately, I think the most likely scenario is Loki gets violently jealous pissed off at Thor and Hawke bonding over their respective magical weapons and joins the zombie side, at which point, going by the excellence of the decisionmaking on my remaining side, we are pretty much screwed. 

Thor & Hawke: I will smite the zombies with my (hammer|giant sword)! *dive blindly into nearest zombie horde and start hacking away without pausing to figure out the spread of the zombie disease, any strategy, etc*

Meat Loaf: So now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive! *snorts some cocaine*

Loki: GO ZOMBIES GO *sits on hillside above eating popcorn*

But at least we will go out with appropriate soundtrack?

Just stumbled over this again on dA, and felt the need to reblog. (This would totally be my mental illustration for Gagging, cough.)

In a perfect world, I would be Audrey Horne.

And a DAMN fine cup of coffee. <3
