Re: an inconventional truth
True...did you know that the moon for example, is slowly slipping out of our orbit. Yes, give it another 20 billion years and the moon will break free from earths gravitational pull. But do not worry, because by then the sun will have died out, so we will probably all be dead anyway.
My brother told me that it is thought that the Pacific Ocean, is a hole that used to be the moon. That there is a theory, that a meteor struck the other side of the earth and dislodged a moon shaped lump from the pacific ocean region, leaving a big water filled hole and the moon. The moons orbit spirals slightly, getting 5cm more distant each year. Several thousand years ago, it was closer than it is today and even longer ago, when the moon was still volcanic, it would have appeared as a fiery ball in the sky.
Al Gore is featured quite humourously on South Park.
