My son, Andrew, asked me a question that nobody has asked me before.
Ever.
He asked, "What does the moon taste like?"

I thought about it for a minute.
"I suppose it tastes like dust," was my answer. That seemed to satisfy him and he went about his business (which had something to do with modeling clay and toy cars). But I wasn't satisfied with the answer. The questioned plagued me.
What DOES the moon taste like.
It's amazing to me that for all the money that mankind has spent researching the moon, gathering rocks, sending probes, planting flags, collecting data, filming spacewalks and the like; we've never answered this basic question. Sure, we have information about it's mass and density. We know it's orbital path. We understand it's affect on the tides. But has anybody ever eaten it?
Nope.

Maybe it does taste like dust, maybe just like the dust on earth. Perhaps, in a blind taste test, people would choose earth dust over moon dust.
"Which dirt would you rather sprinkle on your ice cream...?"

But perhaps not. Perhaps the moon is a wonderous taste sensation. Maybe it's delicious! Wouldn't that be a hoot? There it is, just a few thousand miles from us, an entire planet of yumminess.

And we've never even tasted it.

Merry Christmas.
This is the same thing as "Happy Holidays" but a little more specific in my estimation. Happy Holidays is the politically correct version of Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas offends people who don't like Christ. Just like saying "Happy St. Patrick's Day" annoys people who like snakes. You can't make everyone happy. I think December 25th is for the celebrating of Jesus birthday. You don't have to celebrate it. You can make it through the entire holiday without confronting Jesus. There's virtually no evidence of Jesus in the Christmas holiday. Check out the retail stores. See any Jesus? Nope. Didn't think so...

Occasionally there's a nativity scene set up somewhere. This is happening less frequently because it's offensive to people who don't believe in barns and camels. That's really all the thing is, a barn with some people kneeling next to a manger. There have been court orders that force public buildings to remove the thing because it upsets people. Santa claus it okay, however. For some reason, overweight people with shaggy facial hair haven't picked up on the insult that is St. Nick.

Anyway, Merry Christmas.
