The Top 8 Things to Do During a Transit of Venus
8> Scratch your head in confusion because after watching it for
nearly six hours, you didn't see any motion, let alone
transit, of the famed armless statue.
7> Use a magnifying lens to burn a negative image of the transit
in an ant's abdomen.
6> Take advantage of the unexpected light reduction to rob a
bank.
5> Work on your tan, while keeping that mole the doctor said you
should avoid exposing to the Sun in the shadow of Venus.
4> Cross the city in a gondola. That was a "transit of Venice,"
you said?
3> Line up the hole in the ozone layer with the shadow of Venus.
Presto! No more problem with excess ultraviolet radiation from
the Sun reaching the ground.
2> Watch her as she moves from the left tennis court to center
court.
and the Number 1 Thing to Do During a Transit of Venus...
1> Remark to all that you're so surprised that with this mass of
people the transit is still on time.
