I blame Bush.

The moon is shrinking.

Clearly anthropogenic.

Also, could this lead to a shortage of werewolves and bad drunks on full moons?; 8/20/10, 7:08 PM
KLDAVIS said...: I agree. We have a consensus. Now, where can I get a billion dollar grant to study the effects of methane on moon shrinkage?

traditionalguy said...: I knew it. Songs about the "full" moon are also shrinking. But we can tell the grandkids that when we were young the moon was so much bigger.; 8/20/10, 7:21 PM

In the meantime, I'm waiting for Al Gore come up with some research to tell us how much of our changing weather patterns are due to an escaping Moon -- and it's effects upon the tidal forces that help shape our weather -- and figure out what we might do about it, instead of buying beachfront property at bargain-basement prices after he's assured us it will all be underwater in 50 years.

But that might be asking peoplelike Him to do some real science that produces a real result, without the scam attached to it, so I won't be holding my breath.; 8/20/10, 7:57 PM

That's what I call high tides!; 8/20/10, 9:05 PM

Too late. That check was cut with last years "stimulus". I'm surprised you didn't hear about it. It created/saved 0.025 jobs.; 8/20/10, 10:23 PM
