Stupid question about our moon?
What is the name of our Moon?
I mean every single planet in our solar system with a moon has had its moons named. Why haven't we named our own moon? It's like we've named the children of every one else's kids and forgot to give our only child a name of its own! I SAY LETS NAME OUR MOON! I'm calling it by my name... Brian. From here on in we shall call our moon Brian. DIBS! |

Stupid question about our moon?
Moon is its name.
Using the term moon to refer to a natural satellite of another planet is technically incorrect, though a lot of people who should know better keep doing it. "SpreadTooThin" wrote in message ...

We do because all of the "discoveries" post date the telescope and there are records. |

Stupid question about our moon? Carl thoughts on the subject of the "MOON"
Ignignot: Some would say that the Earth is *our* moon. Ur: *We're* the Moon! Ignignot: But that would belittle the name of our Moon, which is the Moon. Ur: Point is, we're at the center, not you! Carl: No, the real point is I don't give a damn. (slams door) |
