Anyway, if the moon is hollow, it's simply more proof of global warming.

Or the Soup Dragon got hungry

Norway, wasn't it?

Anyway he never mentioned the moon, which would have been a far more important bit of design than Norway.

I stand corrected.

God it was then, or aliens.

The Moon is exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun.
Radius of the sun 696,000. Radius of the moon 1,737.10km. Which is 401 times smaller than the Sun. Within the limits of error, 400 times is probably ok.

I believe you'll find the answer to be, after completing an especially nice piece of coastline around Finland, that Slarty Bardfast was most probably responsible for the moon.

Next.

People laughed at David Icke when he came out with outrageous predictions in the early 90s. Some of his predictions included massive earthquakes and tsunamis hitting the planet, and New Orleans being devastated by a hurricane.

Of course some of his other predictions haven't taken place...yet.

Looks like there is no shortagre of prospective entrants to the CUK Village Idiots Club set up by Dim.

For example, the Moon revolves at exactly one hundredth of the speed that the Earth turns on its axis;

The moon rotates once every 27.32 days. The earth rotates once a day(!).

If you consider equatorial rotational speed, you get 16.7 kph against 1675 kph. But that's just the speed of a line around the earth. At the poles, the earth and moon rotate at exactly the same speed - i.e. zero.

The Moon is exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun.
Radius of the sun 696,000. Diameter of the moon 1,737.10km. Which is 401 times smaller than the Sun. Within the limits of error, 400 times is probably ok.

400 times closer to the Earth.
Average distance from Earth to the Sun - 150'000'000km.
Average distance from Earth to the Moon - 384'403km.
Which is 390 times closer. Which is almost exactly not 400
.
As far as the moon being hollow is concerned - well, not according to the seismic surveys . that gives a core of radius 350km. And if the moon was hollow it would require a crust of enormous density. But not as dense as the brains of the people who believe this nonsense. That kind of density makes a blackhole look like a pumice stone.

Well I hope you've enjoyed my little write up of the article and I hope its been a source of interest, I personally believe the Moon is just a ball of rock and not some secret Death Star sent by Aliens to create life on Earth but I'll let you make up your own opinions.

Nah. Everyone knows it's made of cheese.

Issac Asimov wrote an essay dealing with this very thing. Although not quite as admirably bonkers...

As one of CUK's few experts on weird hippy bulltulip as seen from the perspective of a weird hippy, may I just say that this is a load of bollocks.

YMMV, etc.

The Clangers built it of course, with a little help from the soup dragon
