Kissing game for casual science buffs

While searching for something completely unrelated I stumbled across the EarthSky Meteor Shower Guide for 2010.

Turns out it won’t be the absolute best year for meteor-shower oriented dating — the annual events most likely to produce hundreds or thousands of meteors an hour this year happen while the moon is also prominent (which makes the flashes harder to spot) or else they’ll be peaking too close to dawn to call enchanting-evening material.

And of course in the Pacific Northwest where I live the odds of seeing meteors through the cloud cover can be… uncertain.

That said?

You can usually see a meteor or two every night if the sky’s clear.

And if you’re with someone you love, or maybe just like a lot, then kissing when you see one sounds like a lot of fun.

And if you’re out on some enchanted evening and there are no meteors to be found? Well, does anyone really need an excuse to kiss?
