I have recently been told that while on the Moon, Neil Armstrong made the

what is the meaning of the comment ?


Is it that time of year again?

Yes. They look so attractive, next to the pumpkins.

Thank you for the replies. I'm sorry to have wasted your time. The original
posting followed a conversation with a well respected mathematition in my
school. I had not heard of the quote but knew that the readers of this
newsgroup would know the answer. I can now pass the information on that it
is all a rather rude joke.

A question asked in the right place is a rarely a waste of time.

....Gotta give him credit for that. He didn't come across as a troll,
obviously. In the future, tho, he's got the knowledge of where to go
if some story he's heard sounds too outlandish and do a little
research before hitting the groups.

On the other hand, "mathematition" betrays the fact that he's not

No no. As you see, plenty of guys had some fun with it. And you
asked, not claimed, that statement.

Well, being a mathematician says nothing about competence when it comes
to space history. (Any mathematicians around the regular posters here on s.s.h?)

PS: Is it possible to have a Usenet-autoresponder that send out the correct
answer whenever it matches "Gorsky" in a posting? ;-)
