    Here's my fear...if we enlightened folks don't come up with something, the corporations will get a hold of the name. Try this for horrors:

    McMoon
    Qualcomm Moon
    MS Moon
    Taco Bell Moonito
    Exxon Satellite
    iMoon
    Pfizer Moonestra
    Playboy Moonsion

    Sorry about that last one, but you get the picture...

    Oh god, I can see it now. I'll be sitting out back with my telescope, and every time the lens passes over the moon, a little voice will be programmed to come out of it and say "The Moon, Earth's greatest satellite... brought to you by Diet Pepsi."

    Tis saddens me to see that so many people still believe in that great hoax and even search new names for it while, in fact, there is no moon.
    Wake up, sheeple! Don't believe the propaganda!
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    Yes, and you KNOW that it will be painted with that red, white and blue swirl too.

    The "Tidal Myth" from that site is very funny!

    "The tide myth is one of the oldest and most absurd lies that the Lunar establishment has tried to push on a gullible world. Do they really expect us to believe that the moon - an object that allegedly resides at an average distance of 240,000 miles from the earth - has the power, from that distance, to lift how many billions of cubic meters of water?

    "Do an experiment: take a rubber ball and suspend it above a bathtub full of water. Now slowly move the ball closer to the water. Does the level of the water change? Not even slightly. So much for the tides myth."

    I tried it and it's true. A tennis ball will NOT suck water from a bathtub.

    So the moon doesn't exist after all. I thought there was something funny about it. It looks more like a UFO anyway.

    Since it's not there can we still name it Papayahed?

    I was thinking of such a thing earlier (talking about the 1st post). What about... Cain? For he was "banished" there... But, not everyone in the world is Christian so that may be a problem.

    I say we name the moon after the movement's origonal founder and re-christen it "TacoButt."

    Papayahed sounds like a great name for an imaginary moon.

    I am waiting for the day when laser technology allows us to beam images onto the moon.

    You know it's going to happen.

    And getting closer too! The U.S. military is working on a 100 kilowatt laser to burn the heads off of dictators and terrorists from ten miles away - currently they have 30 kilowatt prototypes
    which would be enough to make a sickle moon look full on a cloudy night
