Every day is April fools day with empiricists, after all, people who look up
at the moon and declare is spins while being dead serious are wanting in
many,many ways.


Imagine for a moment that the Earth has been suddenly transported away
by some evil race of carnivorous aliens that wish to farm us in their
own galaxy. Now imagine what the motion of the moon around the sun would
look like. A year would be about 12 days long, but there would be days
followed by night. A) if the moon didn't rotate at all there would be
one day per year. B) if the moon rotated once per year there would be
perpetual night on one side and day on the other. but C) it rotates
faster than that. (just much slower than the Earth)
