If you can review the list, then perhaps you can solve one of the Great Mysteries of Apolyton!

...When MWHC posted an article about homosexuality in animals and said that dolphins (of the same sex) "***** at each other".

I still can't think of any five-letter censored verb that might fit the sentence.

It wasn't blowing, it was held up by a wire arm, which it also swung from.

I know, but what moved it? Did Armstrong hit it? I didnt see that.

If you don't beleive the moon landings occured, go here:

He's got a whole speil of evidence making "Moon Hoax" beleivers look rather silly.

Every question will be answered.

I don't know about you, but I sure didn't.

In the pic, you can see one of them is holding the flagstaff (I didnt remember that), apparently turning it according to the website. So there's the force for the movement. Thanks for the link Dunk.

The only thing that really ever made me question the moon landing was how scripted the astronauts dialogue was. "The Eagle has Landed", "A small step for man, a giant leap for mankind".

Did you know that when they landed on the moon, Neil Armstrong was so moved that he said the sentence the wrong way? "Giant leap for man, a small step for mankind" and they had to edit it afterwords

Where did you read this... wasn't it going live on TV?

Yes it was live. It wasn't edited. Live from the Moon. Apparently Neal didn't say exactly what he intended to say. Big deal.

Too bad it wasn't Buzz Aldrin as the first man on the Moon. Buzz was a astronaut. Neal was a test pilot and apparently a very good one but I never had the impression that he was interested in the Space Program except that it was ultimate test pilot experience.

We did not land on the moon! The moon landed on us!

He flubbed the line...

He was supposed to say... "One small step for A man, one ginat leap for mankind."

One thing I would like to know is why are there people that think that the moon landings where faked? That is just impossible to do something like that, it is much easier to actually go to the moon then to fake that you landed on the moon and keep it a secret.

Moses Presley looks for Buzz Aldrin and asks him to punch anyone in the mouth who believes he didn't walk on the moon.

They distrust the government so much that they beleive the entire space program was farcical and a PR stunt to "honor President Kennedy" who said, "We will put a man on the moon before 1970" as well as beat the Soviets into space, which would boost the national morale greatly. There are other theories even stating that NASA has murdered its own scientists who have threatened to bring the "hoax" to the public.

The hoax beleivers see it as an easy Hollywood stunt.

Still, that would be so easy to prove that it was faked, and the Soviet Union would have been the first to find that out.
