Happy Purim Katan!
Lubab:
On the whole it's still better to announce charity, even though some people might do it for the wrong reasons.
The Rebbe called this kind of humility (not telling anyone about your charity) "false humility".
Because if you really cared about the cause you'd tell people what you did (humbly) to inspire others to help out too. :)
Ari:
Okay, makes sense. O0

I also bit a piece of it and held it up to The Moon so I put up the chunk of the candy left and held it against the part of The Moon still white and by doing that, I could see the brown part since the radiance of The Moon wasn't effecting my vision of it.

Yaakov.
Be sure to keep us posted of these exciting developments. :D
Seriously, that was very interesting.

Why are eclipses considered to be bad omens if we aren't supposed to believe in superstitions or horoscopes?

Because the fate of the Yidden is compared to the Moon.
A Freilichen (Shushan) Purim Koton everyone!

Then what about solar eclipses. Why can't you make a bracha on a solar eclipse?

We were actually talking about this in Shul today. You shouldn't be looking at a solar eclipse in the first place, though... ::)
Although if you saw it through the proper protection, I suppose you could say Oseh Maiseh V'reishis over a solar eclipse...
