Jem I recall hearing the song in an old movie and I thought it was that the gals were from Buffalo ........ but I prefer your version

Re: Earth without the Moon ....
I'm more interested in Black Holes nowadays, there was a space program on BBC4 the other night, presented by that charming young professor with the perpetual smile, can't remember his name now. Seems these holes have the whole scientific world baffled and Smily is not ashamed to admit it, I admire his honesty.Two questions came to my mind as I watched this program, in these days of political correctness, is it racist to call a Black Hole a Black Hole? And does a Black Hole become a White Hole in daylight?

Don't know about the light in the hole Peter, but I believe anything that goes in never comes out, it disappears into nothing, that's nothing as we know it, but nothing could be the secret of everything, or so they say in scientific circles.

I've always had long hair (my sister too). My mother would watch the skies at night and then trim our hair on full moon. She told us then that the pull of the moon would make our hair grow longer and faster. If I may say, my hair is still long and in good condition, the grey hairs even compliment the colour now, naturally. But I also heard that the Moon was originally some type of asteroid that crashed into Earth and its original shape was oval. Do you know anything about that?
