Well, here's a great dinner topic. Try bringing this up next time you're out to dinner. Ask: "Who built the moon?" No really... try it. Then see if the goon squad with the padded truck doesn't show up real quick to pack you away to the looney bin.
Here's a fellow that's spent a goodly amount of time writing a book that asks the question: who built the moon. Of course, off hand, I can think of an even more mysterious question: who built the monkeys that just flew out of my butt? Hey... might as well. They're both on the same intellectual level. Only there's one difference. I didn't waste a year of my life and 200 trees worth of paper to spring that question on humanity.
This book, aptly named Who Built the Moon poses such a question - and it took 64,000 words to ask. The author, Christopher Knight, has actually consumed valuable resources in a vain attempt to convince us that perhaps the "boogeyman" built the moon. Perhaps it was even on a Saturday morning. And of course he somehow suspects (without a single micron of scientific evidence) that perhaps the moon is hollow. Yeah, that's it. And it's probably filled with candy, or radishes, or creme cheese, or yogurt perhaps. And what a construction project. The labor contracts were immense, right? Yeah... and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night too.
This is an example of an utter disregard for thousands of years of scientific method and knowledge. More appropriately, this is the kind of insane wild thoughtless fantasy that results from too many drugs, or sniffing too much glue. Really, I can't think why anyone would even contemplate wasting their time like this. And then, most amazingly, trying to waste other peoples time while charging them money. And worse... why anyone would actually BUY THIS BOOK. Well, as Mr. Barnam said long ago: "there's a sucker born every minute".
And for those that actually bought this book... I have a special secret message for you. Shhhhhh... be very quiet. Here it is: "send me money to pay the Sorgoshians off or they will shut the moon down, pack it up, and move it to the Vegan system. Hurry!!! They only accept hundred dollar bills.
