10 out of 10 annoying people are flammable.

But it's illegal to prove it.

Since lots of us go on and on about the moon, why not one more? Tongue


The distance from the Earth to the Moon is ~300.000 km (fun fact, light takes 1 second to go from the moon to the Earth)
The Planet Earth's diameter is ~13.000km.

So, the distance from the Earth to the moon is about 23 times larger than Earth's diameter.... which renders images like this one completely wrong!

Although the moon look bright In the night sky, it is actually as dark as asphalt.

As a matter of physics, the moon itself makes astrology worthless. The midwife (or nurse or doctor, etc) present at your birth had a strong gravitational pull on you than the moon.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was not an original work but a re-telling of a narrative poem by a poet called Arthur Brooke. Brooke's poem had a slightly different ending in that the nurse is banished, the apothecary is hanged and the Friar goes to live in a hermitage until he dies.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Although correlation does not imply causation, it is a fact that there's a preferred day within any week for a birth to occur, and it coincides with one the four main moon phases.
