“.....it is our calender that is off.”
Nice twist. Great concept for a new sci-fi, but there might not be anyone left to see it. ;>)

Has anyone weighed in yet on what's really going on?
Isn't obvious to all yet? The scientific calculations are in. The result is not good.
I have noticed a trend for the past six months and it's scares the hell out of me.
Each day for the past six months has been two minutes shorter than the day before!!
If something isn't done, I predict that by March there will be 24 hours of night and the Sun disappears altogether!
Something must be done about the urgent problem of Global Darkening!!
The Science is settled! We must act now or we're doomed!!

The Maya calendar predicts the end of the world to occur on December 21, 2012. No, it doesn't. It predicts the end of an era. They didn't get around to publishing a newer calendar that predicts the beginning of a conservative era that allows mankind to blossum and florish.

a full lunar eclipse takes place on the shortest day of the yearHey, THAT's nothin'! Check THIS out:
This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address could occur on the same day. It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little perspective, wisdom or credibility for prognostication...while the other involves a groundhog.
Yes, please DO spam your friends with it...

When a full lunar eclipse takes place on the shortest day of the year, the planet may just get awfully dark. A lunar eclipse hides the moon. A solar eclipse hides the sun.

True, but a lunar eclipse blocks out the reflected light from the Sun, no?

...but a lunar eclipse blocks out the reflected light from the Sun, no?... Thus darkening the night, but not the day.

Bright and sunny in the Middle East.
I imagine it will be tomorrow, too. 'Til the sun sets around 5:00 p.m. anyway...
