India and Asia (and the pacific ocean) had the pleasure of the longest total solar eclipse, this century is going to see.

I saw on CNN, that some of the more superstitious Indians, were troubled by this great omen of doom. Pregnant women are advised to draw the blinds, stay in bed and hide under the covers, and do NOTHING. Else they will lose their unborn baby. Others were seeing it as a religeous wonder and went in droves to bathe in the Ganges and pray. Still others, just went to the beach with their friends, and stared at the sun.
