General Comments on 'Mars is bright tonight'.

As someone mention when this subject was discussed before, the British
have a way of suddenly talking about the weather whenever the
conversation turns to something uncomfortable, even when the sudden
change in topic may be nonsequitur or illogical or contrary to reality
like 'looks like rain' even when the sky is crystal clear.

So, I suggest that 'Mars is bright...' is simply the centaurs way of
avoiding a subject in a manner that is typically British.

Example: Human
Q: So, tell me, is your sister still working in the red light district?

A: ....hummmm.... Beautiful weather, maybe we'll have a picnic this
weekend.


Example: Centaur
Q: So, tell me, is your sister still giving pony rides at the circus?

A: ...Hummmm..... Mars is bright tonight; unusually bright.

To a centaur who is obsessed with astrology, this may simply be a way
of saying that the sky is clear tonight with no complex astrological
or divination interpretation. It's an indirect statement of the
weather, not a direct statement about Mars itself.

Just some thoughts.
