Tonight: Cast your eyes skyward
The kick ass Dublin Community Blog says:
Tonight, over the skies of Dublin and Ireland, if the weather allows for it, I suggest that you look up.
But why DCB?
The largest meteor shower of the year, the Geminids meteor shower, will result in shooting stars being visible every 20 - 30 seconds to the naked eye.
Cool. Fingers crossed for no cloud. The Geminids are back in town:
The Geminids are a meteor shower caused by an object named 3200 Phaethon, which is thought to be an extinct comet. The meteors from this shower can be seen in mid-December and usually peak around 12-14 of the month. The Geminid shower is thought to be intensifying every year and recent showers have seen 120-160 meteors per hour under optimal conditions.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
