Tell HN: There will be a Blue moon in December

I was so disappointed to learn that a blue moon is not <i>actually</i> blue.

The Straight Dope covered this awhile back:<p>The "two full moons in a month" definition is recent and somewhat bogus, like the bit about the seasons officially starting on the solstices and equinoxes. Originally "once in a blue moon" meant "pretty much never", and the modern definition stems from an error made writing a question/answer for Trivial Pursuit.<p>Full article: <a href="http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/162/is-there-ever-really-a-blue-moon" rel="nofollow">http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/162/is-there-ever-r...</a>

On New Year's Eve, no less! How...poetic. Now we've just to figure out what it all means.

Except in Australia and Asia.

Apparently a blue moon comes once in a blue moon :)
