Please, don't anyone tell hack author Dan Brown about this mystical alignment or he'll figure out a way to tie it into a centuries-old Catholic Church conspiracy. And by strange coincidence "Manhattan" is an anagram for "Ham-Nan-Tat," the ancient Egyptian godess of fertility, whose remains reside in a mysterious crypt in a long-forgotten basement of the Museum of Natural History...

Um, I usually wait until the Summer solstice to start my summer. It's the pagan in me. Cool item for what's sure to be a hot one, though.

That is really cool. Okay, this couldn't be further off topic, but I've been wondering about this since I saw the Post today, with the great headline, "Hooked." What is it about Islam and blind terrorist sheiks? You've got the one-armed guy with a hook who was arrested yesterday in London, the guy who was arrested after the first WTC bombing, and Yassin, the guy who Israel killed. Am I missing any?

I remember the first time I saw this happen, when I first moved to the city (many years ago). I didn't know what the phenomenon was called, but I remember being strangely compelled to walk home from work that day (about 40 blocks) just so I could keep watching the sun. And I totally thought of Stonehenge at the time.
