    Default Well, someone's done it AGAIN!

    For the second time in as many years, someone had dented the Moon. It's supposed to be a thin crescent; the bottom of the thing comes to a sharp point like it's supposed to, but the top edge is sort of rounded, so it's sitting out there sort of like an apostrophe.

    Not only does it look weird, but it's grammatically incorrect. An apostrophe is NOT a complete sentence!

    I want to know the responsible partie(s) and how we can get them to fix this umacceptable situation.

    Right, we want close-ups.

    Eric,

    This over night sensation is likely caused by cosmic debris. Legend has it that the apostrophe is a reminder from Nanook of the North (SK) not to eat yellow snow.

    Scientists managed (circa 1973) to duplicate the apostrophe in the lab on (obviously) much smaller spheres than the moon using an excentrifugal forz.

    Now you know.

    "The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror (37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying, 7 and 3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001."

    -Dr. Sheldon Cooper, (Jim Parsons), "Big Bang Theory"

    "Just to invite your attention to "73" in Morse code--also a palindrome."

    Being it's an apostrophe, I suspect what affected the Moon wasn't an impact but a contraction.

    Thank goodness it wasn't an asterisk. Every Kurt Vonnegut fan would be wondering whether God was criticizing him.

    You do know the Moon is not made of Green Cheese nor rock but in fact the moon is made of Yellow Snow.








    Actually Eric, you might check but I think the missing peace of the Moon is due to a close pass with the shadow of the Earth.
