Happy Independence Day!

Check out this interesting Microsoft error message. Gotta love that company for the humor it brings I guess.

Today is also the day that the sun is farthest away from the earth, otherwise known as aphelion to astronomers. Suprisingly the earth is actually warmer on this day than it is during perihelion when the earth is closest to the sun. That's due to perihelion occuring in January, when the sun shines on more water than land due to the earth's tilt. So there is your useless trivia for the day.
