That's right, the Martians call our moon "Luna" and they're very jealous of us for having it. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, but they are very small. Deimos is actually the smallest moon in our solar system. Martians have a bad case of moon envy so you it's not polite to talk about it in front of them.

/50!

Or he can send me £14.99 and I'll change his name to Luna. I'll give him a note from me mum as proof of something or other... :p
 
It's Moon, as in the Moon. Not just a moon.

(Moon. It sounds funny when you say it a lot. Mooooooon. I can see my lips when I say that. "M-o-o-n. That spells 'Moon.'")
 
Once I'm done building my giant freaking lazer, and carve my initials onto the face of the moon -- you all will be singing a different tune! It will be mine I tell you! All mine!
 
Think of it this way. Because it has both a classical name and an Anglo-Saxon/Germanic name, not only can we sapients choose which name they want to use, but cows can speak its name too: "MmmmOOOOooo!" Most of the name anyhow.

Strange how they can say "m"s but not "n"s, even though they're so similar. Some things really don't need the thought I put in to them.
 
In the office of a farm I work with on occasion (and where I get manure for composting) they used to have a calendar sent from a Bolivian shipping company. All the cartoon cows on the deck of the illustration were saying "Boeuuuuh!" =o.O=

Heh. Bolivian cows are stupid.
 
Sorry, I don't speak Bolivian. Could someone translate that please? :p

Meffy, you sound like someone who would appreciate this company's calendars. Last years edition was "Cows in Shining Armor." :D
 
@supercorgi: Heh, cute. We have too many calendars already or I'd steal^H^H^H^H^Hbuy one.

I wouldn't dream of contradicting this. (They're no different from other cows, I suppose.)

Translation? Righty.

Bolivian: "Boeuuuuh!"

American: "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isoceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side."

But as the Scarecrow ought to have known, that's wrong. Yup. They are stupid.
 
Cows really are stupid. Farmers build a small overhang so they can graze in the rain (well, out of the rain) but they are too stupid to even accidently find out they are dry one day and actually remember where it was they stayed dry. Plus, every time lightning strikes they all freak out and moo even though that's a naturally occuring sound they've heard their entire lives and have had millions of years to evolve ignoring such a thing.

They deserve to be my lunch.
 
But what would college students do when they drink too much...you can't "titan" someone; or "phobos" them...you really need to be able to "moon" someone.
