A family once drove hours to a perfect eclipse - viewing spot. But when the eclipse started, their dog, who was with them, got scared of the sudden change in light and jumped into the car, knocking over all the snacks they had prepared. They were a bit annoyed at first but then couldn't stop laughing at the chaos the dog caused.
During an eclipse in a rural area, an old farmer thought it was a sign from the heavens. He started praying out loud. His wife, who knew better, tried to tell him it was just an eclipse. But he was so into his 'conversation with the divine' that he didn't listen. Later when he realized, he was a bit embarrassed and everyone in the village had a good chuckle about it. This story shows how sometimes people can misinterpret natural phenomena in really funny ways during an eclipse.
One funny eclipse story is when a group of friends planned a big 'eclipse party'. They all had their special eclipse glasses but one friend accidentally wore his 3D movie glasses instead. He was so excited looking up until someone noticed and had a big laugh. Then he quickly got the right glasses and joined in the proper viewing.
Another common horror story is related to Eclipse's plugin management. Sometimes, plugins conflict with each other. I once had two plugins that were supposed to work together, but instead they made Eclipse crash every time I tried to use a specific feature related to one of them.
Surprise reactions. For example, when people overreact to the eclipse as if it's something extremely dangerous or strange. Like the person who thought the world was ending during an eclipse.

A funny trivia story is that in a certain zoo, the penguins were given little sweaters to wear during a cold spell. However, the penguins didn't seem to like them at all.

Well, there was the case of a mule that became a sort of mascot for a regiment. This mule was very stubborn. One day, it refused to move from its spot right in the path of a supply convoy.
