Is it possible that the moon is made of cheese and the USA government is hiding the facts about the cheese and secretly launching spaceships to harvest that cheese and then bring it back to earth?

Answer 1

* Think about it. Where would there be enough cows to produce enough milk to make a cheese that big? * There would be on another planet somewhere in the multiverse. * Yet I wonder if they actually use cows there ... * Everyone knows the moon isn't made out of cheese, I mean come on, it's the moon we're talking about. * Alien farmers. * OH YEAH DEFINITELY in fact. * NO. * I went there on Tuesday, and I got the best cheese! You should go there some time ... in fact I have a beach house up there for rent! Perfect! * NO. * Really? Can I get in on that? Who's your real estate agent? Please tell me!

* *SNORT* -- Cows producing milk, multiverses, alien farmers, how could anyone believe this? * YES IT IS POSSIBLE. * Do i want to? * Oh yeah the real estate agent for it: 1-800-BUY-MOON * The moon is not made of cheese, i mean get real!

* I just went to the moon to harvest some tasty cheese it was awesome! Just kidding! * If the moon was made of cheese I think scientists and the government would soon tell us. And the right answer to this question is NO, the moon is not made of cheese! * Of course...that's why they call it the moo-oon! * You are all wrong, the moon is really just a big cheesy ball of white cheddary goodness. * Watch Wallace and Gromits ' Grand Day Out'; all your questions will be answered.

* :: grin:: We should -so- have a fun 'conspiracy theories' section. * It was discovered in the early 1970's that moon rocks retrieved by the Apollo astronauts were mostly composed of silicate material, but a little less than half of them, appearing as white lumps of dry material, were comprised of lactose, glucose, galactose, nonvolatile acids, some free fatty acids, diacetyl, and acetoin. An organic chemist at NASA was quick to realize that these were key components of goat cheese, and experiments immediately commenced with applying moisture and microbes to complete the transformation of lunar material into cheese.

Using a simple isocratic HPLC method this chemist was able to accurately predict the time which would be required to ripen lunar cheese, about 2 years. Slightly different microbial organisms were used in the experiments, with the best and fastest results going to Streptococcus thermophilus, popular for Italian cheeses.

However, the process of converting the basic lunar ingredients into cheese was, at that time, laborious, time-consuming, and very expensive. Therefore, NASA did not initially propose any further lunar missions for cheese harvesting purposes.

NASA geologists now propose that the source of the raw material was probably an incredibly large herd of goats from the constellation Capricorn. One of the stars there went "supernova" about 4.8 billion years ago, they theorize, destroying the great herd of goats and scattering the milk through the galaxy, and helping to create new space bodies, such as our moon.

Neil Armstrong and his ex-wife Janet and their two sons were the first humans ever to taste 'Lunar Mozzarella', in a lasagna that Janet baked, five years after the first lunar rocks were returned to earth. * Thirteen years after these initial findings, it was determined by an independent research team working under the National Defense Readiness Industries Council that advances in space flight and chemical processing could allow for harvesting and processing of Lunar Cheese Base Elements (LunCase) at a significantly lower cost than cheese could be produced by American dairy farmers.

After an exhaustive set of situation analysis projections, it was feared that re-tooling the American Cheese Industry could backfire substantially in the event that a future war siphoned resources from LunCase harvesting operations, and terrestrial farmers in the U.S. were no longer prepared to produce cheese on the levels that the American market demanded. This would, it was feared, leave the U.S. unacceptably dependent on foreign markets for cheese supplies during war-time.

After much top level deliberation, the plan was scrapped, and the NSA consumed all remaining LunCase capable moon-rock in a top secret Pizza and fondue party held at a suspected safe house and front known as Luigi's Pizza in Greenbelt, MD., midway between CIA and NSA headquarters. * OF COURSE IT'S TRUE! That's what flying saucers are all about. It's the Moonies bringing their cheese to Earth and selling it at flea markets.

THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ECONOMY! All our hard-earned dollars are ending up on the Moon.
