Leave it to my wife to once again mock my lack of blogginess. If she only understood the power of the Internet, she would not mock my pain, oh no…

I discovered today an amusing little news piece in the Irish Times, circa 1967 (sorry, no link), while I was looking for comment on European integration (which is basically all I do). It was talking about some theories being proposed by Soviet scientists regarding the moon. It seems they thought the damn thing was alive!! Based on readings a few of their unmanned probes took on the place, the Soviets began to suspect it was a living organism. I kid you not.

The only thing that kept running through my head as I read it was “They think the moon is made of living cheese! A living cheese they must take before the capitalist pig dog Americans expropriate it!” I can see the Politburo discussions now.
