Tonight the sun sets at 10.05pm and rises again at 3.35am. It never really gets dark.

In 6 months, the sun will set at approx. 3.30pm and not rise again until approx. 8.30am. Then it's dark for almost 18 hours.

One would think that God in all his wisdom could've evened it out a bit, no?

Really? I am in Holland, south of you, and the sun is supposed to set around 10:04 tomorrow night.

I was on the phone last night with my mother and looked out the window and it was a pink sunset still going down. It was 11:00 p.m.!

I know, it's beautiful this time of year

I think tomorrow is the longest day for the US...right? God I feel retarded! But in any case it sets around 8:30 pm and rises again about 5:30am.

I wish they would stop with the daylight savings time and all that, I think it's a waste.

Dunno, all I know is that today is the last day that there's true midnight sun above that certain latitude

Teacher said:

It is, but it's also weird to me (I am from the U.S.). I eat dinner really late and go to bed at two a.m. because it feels weird to go to sleep right after it has just turned full dark.

minneapolisgenius said:

I'm in the US and I find it weird as it is. The days are longer and it makes me tired. I would like to experience the Midnight Sun just once, as well as a full day of darkness.

Summer solstice and winter solstice are the days, first day of Summer/Cancer and Winter/Capricorn.

I was born on the first day of Autumn/Libra, when the days are equal. Same thing happens in Spring: Vernal Equinox, first day of Spring/Aries.

There is this awesome movie called Lovers of the Arctic Circle, where long lost lovers try to find each other on the day of the Midnight Sun. So Romantic.

What a strange and beautiful planet we live on.

minneapolisgenius said:

Yes. Were you born on the snailteenth of Snailtember?

the stays up that late there? that's amazing... I would never

VinaBlue said:

Yes exactly.

minneapolisgenius said:

Hey! I asked you on another thread where you lived and you were just being evasive.

Vibrator said:

Did you? I've told everyone where I live on here.

Maybe you're just not special enough!

minneapolisgenius said:

Oh yeah? And maybe I´m gonna make you eat clogs and tulips till you start farting the dutch national anthem. Then there´ll be no uncertainty any longer.

Vibrator said:

But I already DO that.
And I'm very good at the national anthem thank you very much!

minneapolisgenius said:

Always showing off...
I´ve tried the Swedish national anthem but I run out of air after two or three notes. You must be like a balloon.

Vibrator said:

Yes, well I HAVE trained my whole life for it.

Swedish huh?
I don't know that one. Is that where you live?

minneapolisgenius said:

The weather is nice today, don´t you think?

Vibrator said:

You mean the weather in Sweden?

minneapolisgenius said:

Well OK then! Yes I live in Sweden. Am I special to you now?

Vibrator said:

maybe...

I want to go to Sweden.

minneapolisgenius said:

That´s not how you spell "yes".

Vibrator said:

VinaBlue said:

Well, come on over then! I´ll show you around.

And hopefully we won´t run into that pesky minneapolisgenius.

Vibrator said:

I've got Althom's shiny ass to light up my day
