Who knew?

I did--having observed the effect long before on May 10, 1994 (as did Stephen Jay Gould: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/dinosaur.htm)

I was unable to snag any special glasses, but (after sneaking a couple furtive fraction-of-a-second glances through welding goggles over polarized sunglasses) I enjoyed the crescent shadow effect in the dappled shade of the locust trees at the Dayton Mall bus hub, conveyed by slightly grimy 40-watt sunlight.

(And then, of course, you have the free spirits who ain't gonna let no one, nohow, tell them what to do.)
