Too bad there's no room for surfing. :-D Oh, yeah, and the price of a glass of water on the moon doesn't surprise me one bit. ( My wife works in the arctic on occasion, (...)

The gags just kind of flowed on their own, and about half of them were inspired by others as I added (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

Although, the tidal pull of the earth could make for some swell (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Bingo! Although I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed the other half of the water joke on their own either. (...) Actually...not. And not for the reasons you mentioned. Our moon has settled into a 1:1 day/month cycle because of the tidal (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re: Neptune's Moon Lagoon —David Laswell
| | | | | | | (...) Less than you might think. The reason why there's an obverse lunar tide is because the moon is small and doesn't exert enough gravitic force on the far side of earth to pull all the water around to the near side. The side closest to the moon (...) (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

You mean, the fact that the water is 'imported' in barrels from the tanks downstairs; the very tanks used to replenish the pool? Boy, if (...)

| | | | | | | | | | | | Re: Neptune's Moon Lagoon —David Laswell
| | | | | (...) Solar pull on the Earth's tides is pretty weak compared to the lunar pull. It'd probably be even weaker compared to terran pull on the moon. Tides might fluctuate an inch or two throughout the lunar month, but not enough to get a good surf (...) (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)
