Friends: 23 | It's all okay, Sqiud. We drive PZEVs. According to everything I've read that is enough to save the Earth. |

That's right, and, by the way, the Prius comes with built in karma that will deflect any pieces of the moon that may get through the atmosphere. | |

Friends: 23 | Gravity is the distance from the centers of the two objects times their mass or something like that. So if the two objects - in this case the Earth and the moon - move further away, tidal forces should be lessened. That should result in lower high tide levels, less wobble in the Earth's orbital path, and fewer crazies on full moon nights. |

Friends: 23 | Wow! Two semesters of Astrophysics and I could have avoided all that elliptical Trigonometry with the standard answer, "Earth sucks." |

the whole thing was about various theories on how the moon was formed, it was very threatening, they really gave you the impression we were all done for pretty soon... | |
