The moon does not really exist. It's all a conspiracy.

Actually, the bit about Jack and Jill was quite interesting for one who 
never knew what that poem was about.

Very cool. Seems lots of nursery rhymes come from that time frame too.

And earlier too. Ring a ring of roses comes from the Great Plague (1665), "Hush
a-bye baby in the tree-top" may have been written by someone who travelled with
the Pilgrim Fathers. "Mary, Mary quite contrary" could have been about Mary
Tudor or possibly Mary Stewart.

I'm beginning to think that it's the part of the Earth westward of the Western
Isles that doesn't exist (in reality).

Well, I believe that they *do* exist. But whether their inhabitants "are in
reality" is a totally different matter :P

	I'd believe you, but I don't have a habit of listening to people who do 
not exist.

Bah! Of course moon exists, and of course it's made of green cheese. The
real riddle is, does it rotate around its own axis?

Are people really this stupid/insane? Seriously, how can they believe 
the crap they spew?

It's just like that guy Buzz Aldrin punched (well deserved, btw) I'd say 
it's lunacy, but they don't believe in that anyway.

I think you're right, even the conspiracy believers wouldn't write something 
like this:

Clearly Poe's law holds for more than just fundamentalism.

I thought it was a great site because it's so *obviously* whacked yet uses 
all the same techniques as the other conspiracy theories use.

Depends on whether it actually rotates around the earth ;)

A good question, which this site - as I guess - is all about. I can't take such
guys seriously, but at least in *this* case the crap makes perfect sense as
soon as you don't: A nice brainfuck he's pulling off there.

A meta-hoax, if you like.

I like the "statistical experiment", too (including the statement of
qualification).

It actually doesn't. It rotates around the sun.  If you actually do the 
math, you find that the attraction of the sun on the moon when it's on the 
sunwards side of the earth is stronger than the attraction of the earth on 
the moon.

  It is possible for a body to rotate around more than one other body at
the same time.

  Of course with the Earth-Moon system it gets a bit blurry because the
two bodies basically rotate around each other, rather than the Moon purely
rotating around the Earth. The deviation the Moon causes on the Earth is
rather significant (I think it's something like 5000 km).

Oh come on, do you really believe that sun-worshipper propaganda crap? They've
been trying to hype the sun as the king of the sky ever since they put it up
there, when we all know it's no bigger than the moon. Get real man! The moon
was built first (which is why it's not burning any more these days), and
there's really no reason to give the sun any attention. It's just a poor copy
by the Japanese (which still brag with it on their national flag), envious of
the Arabs' achievement at building the moon.

Ha, gotcha! So you do admit that the moon is hollow - or how could it possibly
be "full" otherwise? :P

Plus the sun only comes out during daytime. The moon, by contrast, is much
more useful as it brightens up the night.

Except for when it's either new or hanging around with the sun. ;-)

There are people who actually believe the earth is hollow.

I'm sure you could find someone who believes the same about the moon, 
and further, is only a hemisphere.

Nazis. The interior of the earth is full of Nazis, ready to dig through to the
surface as soon as Adolf is ready to Take Over the World again for another 1000
years. A bit less, maybe.

Ah well, not exactly Adolf, because Elvis wanted to have his comeback too, so
they created a genetic hybrid. Looks a bit weird, but... oh well, this Hitler
guy looked weird anyway, didn't he?

Maybe he was one of the lizard people after all, cleverly disguised...
