I guess it depends on how you define 'occurs'. I'd be willing to make an exception though... Whatever that number was +1

Awwww...cute!
Thanks for the amusement!
(BTW, if the moon is not actually blue on New Year's 2009 I'm holding you personally accountable! ;-)) |

I'm confused...
"The term blue moon has at least four related meanings. One is a common metaphorical phrase for a rare event. Full moons are given names in folklore, and two definitions of blue moon are a name for a rare full moon that does not have a folk name. One modern blue moon definition is a result of a misinterpretation of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, where a second full moon occurs in a calendar month. The older definition of blue moon is for an extra full moon that occurs in a quarter of the year, which would normally have three full moons, but sometimes has four. Oddly, it is the third full moon in a season that has four which is counted as the "extra" full moon and named blue moon. According to certain folklore, it is said that when there is a blue moon, the moon has a face and talks to the items in its moonlight."

ahh yes...wikipedia. I prefer to go with NASA's description ie. the second full moon in a calendar month. |
