Man, you fully understand what I mean.
Type "new moon" in google and you will see that for most people new moon means same state as in Wiki:
The new moon in its original meaning of first crescent marks the beginning of the month.
Anyway, how do you think I should call this state in order not to disturb you sensitive perception.
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
