Of course, and it's a pain. Plays havoc with your broad beans on a frosty night.

  Seems to be more a media invention than anything else.
  
  Most of us in astronomy had not heard the term Blood Moon to describe a lunar tetrad until a few years ago, but now the term has gained widespread use in the media.
  
  Good explanation of what it is and how the "mystique" around it began...recently, of course. How on earth could we spread this stuff without the internet???

  The first time anyone ever reported a Blood Moon, was in the fall of 1785, in England.
  
  For three nights, the moon was at least 10% larger in the night sky, and was a deep red. It was so red, that it made the English countryside look red at night.
  
  Within 3 days, nearly all the cattle was dead, and several villagers in the countryside had vanished.
  
  The legendary Claude Van Helsing was brought in, from Ohio....to solve this dilemma.
  
  As the great Claude rode a horse into England....across the sea.....it was a water horse....
  
  He got off his steed...John Steed....and gave the English people what they always craved...
  advice from someone in the USA.
  
  Claude said, "It is not a Blood Moon...it is a giant killer Tomato. " And the amazing Claude Van Helsing ate the giant tomato...and saved Jolly Old England.
  
  All of this can be seen in the classic movie, Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes.

  It was 9 pm on Sunday 27th September 2015.
  
  Rip Van Whitacre had just stepped out of his trailer to empty his trailer trash. As he poured the endless empty boxes of Little Debbies into the dumpster he happened to glance up at the sky. What he saw made him stop in his tracks. He felt his sphincter retract with the shock, he gasped, there, hanging in the sky was the largest golden brown dounut he had ever seen.
  
  Drool began to gather in his mouth, the prospect of such a large sugared bun just there for the taking quickly filled his mind with gastronomic lust.
  
  At the same time, he did not believe what he was seeing and called to his wife for verification: Helga, Helga, come here and look. Da she said: OMFG!! I think it's a British one, they have jam in them.
  
  That's not very scientific woman, he said, I know, I will call my good friend, the Cake Astronomer, Kurt Von Hindenbun. Rip quickly explained to his friend what he had seen. Da, said Kurt, Due to recent collision, the Krispy Kreme Asteroid had broken up into many pieces. Unfortunately, they would all miss the Earth by thousands of miles and there was no chance of one landing in Wooster. Pah! said Rip, and slammed the phone down. Im off to Dunkin Dounuts to console myself.
  
  But, Professor Hindenbun was not entirely correct. He had not calculated that a stray currant bun would hit the piece he had seen and flaked off loads of mini dounuts. As Rip was just about to enter the dounut store he saw them descending from the sky His heart jumped with glee and he spent the next joyful hour running around the parking lot with his mouth open. No one was suprised by this however as he often behaved like that.

  I've heard that if the universe ever needs an enema, it'll be inserted in Wooster.

  True. Every time you have visited Wooster, you ended up with a canker sore in your mouth.
