THE MOON IS SO BRIGHT!!


its like a spotlight!!

all that cheese, so much cheese, loverly loverly cheese and all of it too far away

you know... i just realised it would be way more cost effective to send mice astronauts to the moon...

No, I think sending to is unwise. They would eat it!

like... we wouldn't?

Well, I prefer meat. BBQ:ed cows

yes they are good and i bet there are some of those on the moon too!!
where do you think all that cheese came from?

and whilst we're on the subject... anyone know what kind of cheese it is?

and i know where the cows came from...

nowhere does it say that the cow that jumped over the moon ever came back...
and maybe she was pregnant!

It's quite simple.

Cows have milk. Milk makes cheese. So when the cow jumped over the moon, it was transferred into cheese...

okay... so tell me this... what is the stuff that moonbeams are made of?

The cheese that comes in strips and strings!

Prospero:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

The Tempest Act 4, scene 1, 148–158

I always thought it were made of some kind of swiss cheese, hence the holes, but now I'm wondering maybe it'd more likely as not be chedder

"The holes are actually bubbles of CO2 (carbon dioxide) that are trapped in the cheese. CO2 is a gas that is a natural by product of all fermented foods, but the swiss method of making cheese with thick rinds causes the cheese to ripen in such a way that the gas is trapped inside the cheese." quote from google search


soooo.... if we make cheddar (probably natural undyed) with a thick rind we will get the holes?

only one way to find out

Don't cut that cheese - you'll kill the world

are you saying that his outgassing is lethal?


.....

....its back again.

...the moon

and i can't sleep because it is so bright.

Remember...Google is your friend!

Hmm...just tried this, and whereas previously it used to change to a representation of Swiss cheese, they've now updated it so it actually works. Google is your enemy.

i think we should all petition google to reinstate swiss cheese on the closest zoom... for the good of us all... the email address is

which is found at the bottom of this http://www.google.com/moon/about.html page

Make cheese and save the world; just think if we made enough cheese and trapped enough CO2 inside it we'd help stop global warming... though.... now I suddenly have a fear.... does it then get released again when we eat the cheese?
I hope the moon cheese monkeys don't ever eat all the mooncheese, or there'll be no moonCheese left and the moon might fall out of the sky
