Cindy Day was explaining tonight on "Live at Five" that the "2nd moon 
in a month being a "blue" moon" was really an old astronomer's tale 
(no need to bash old wives for this one). Apparently the actual 
definition is that a "blue" moon is the 3rd moon in a quarter (or 
season, eg. between Dec 21st and Mar 21st) that has 4 
moons...whodathunkit?
