Feeling low because the skies are cloudy and you’re missing out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Venus dancing across the Sun?

Well, what will we do without the internet. National Geographic has some pretty awesome photos the Venus Transit.

For the uninitiated, the Venus Transit is an event whereby Venus passes directly in between Earth and the Sun, allowing us to see Venus as a small black disc moving across the face of the Sun.

The picture below is of the Venus Transit taken in 2004.

The next Venus Transit visible from Earth will be 2117. When i’m 138 years old.

Good luck with that!

Probably NOT a good idea now to dress up as a zombie

Given that this just happened, it seems like a stupid and suicidal idea to parade around dressed as a zombie and harassing people.

But obviously, no one bothered to tell this guy, and according to his own claims, he ended up almost getting shot at the 2 minute mark by a man who seems to be pointing a gun at him. We’re still a number of months away from Halloween, and depending on how things turn out, the zombie costume could either be very popular or a suicide mission.

But I must say, he makes a rather impressive and scary zombie. He should be considered to be cast as the lead zombie in 28 months later!

Below’s the video of him in action:
