Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Alright, I'm kinda running a little late today and I don't have a whole lot of time to devote to your daily astronomy lesson.  So, anyways, today's picture is of the moon.  The moon orbits the earth pretty often.  If you ever get a chance to go to the moon, you should smell it.  It smells like sulphur.  Some people think that they see a man's face in the moon, but they're idiots.  The Chinese think they see a rabbit.  Idiots.  There was some movie with this kid who had a really messed up face and his head was like huge and he had a blind friend who felt his face or something maybe.  I could see that kid's face in the moon probably.  Anybody who can correctly identify the deformed kid I'm talking about gets to pick tomorrow's subject matter.

hmmm...~...

would this be Mask?  Eric Stoltz, Laura Dern, Cher?  the story of Rocky Dennis?

just a guess.

I believe you're referring to the movie "Mask" with Cher. The weird looking guy in question was played by Eric Stoltz (wearing a hell of a lot of make-up).

Since I know damn well I won, I want tomorrow's topic to be a symposium. Topic: When (and if) the moon hits your eye like a big-ah pizza pie, is that really Amore?

how bout I pick since you both answered correctly

Way to share the prize, Joe, sheesh.  If we were right, because obviously we were and we got the answer at the same time, we could co-choose.  Or, we could just spar.  Right here, right now, baby.  hahh

I don't believe in sharing. I will meet you in Kansas, and fight you. Only one APoD winner will live to tell the tale.

I'll never ask you for some of your fries then.  Promise. 

Ooooh, I'm getting this visual.  I've never been to Kansas, but in my imagination it's a very dusty place with whatever those things are rolling down Main St.  B4m'ers pull up from both coasts simultaneously.  The ones in between couldn't make it, but that's okay because even Peanut Butter and Tony the Doughnut are there.  It's the fight of the century, and Timbo charges admission.

oh yeah, ps-

knew there was something else i wanted to say on this topic, thanks Cavutto for posting this blog so i can tell my Eric Stoltz story.

i was in a short film starring him.  me, an extra, just got free food outta the deal but it was fun 'cause it was filmed on the Bremerton-to-Seattle ferry, and it took 3 ferry rides to get the takes done right.  we were on the top floor of the ferry, which was blocked to the paying passengers.  i've been an extra in 3 short films, and have never seen one of them.  if i were a bigtime actress it'd probably be the same, why?  because phoenix walks away.  she doesn't look back. 

gtg, have a good day.

Hey, nice job you two.  I guess I'll do Joe's tomorrow and then Phoenix can pick one for Monday.  Sound good?  Or would you prefer Kansas Death Match? 
phoenix on
Joe might pick the death match, he seemed pissed but hard to tell if he was just joking or he really does wanna kill me.  As for me, I'll take Monday.  I'm a pacifist, I just do martial arts for self defense.
