Keep watching the skis

| 2 Comments

Look waaaay up:

On Aug. 27 at 5:51 a.m. ET (1051 GMT) Mars will be less than 34.65 million miles (55.76 million kilometers) away -- closer than it’s been in 59,619 years.

Skis?

What do my skis have to do with Mars?

Obscure simpsons reference; in the x-files spoof episode, someone misreads a cuecard that says "Keep watching the skies!" as "Keep watching the skis!"

Obscure enough for you? :-)
