Isaac Mizrahi has been on Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me! to play the "Not My Job" game at least twice. He's so witty and charming I always wonder why they don't have him back as a regular panelist. This might explain why.
You get up Put on your clothes and if you're lucky the designer knew right from left. Abstractions like planets, stars, moons etc. are best left to the astrologers.
School has been wasted on so many of you. The sun is a star (our star !) The earth is a planet (our planet!) The moon is a moon (our moon !) Obviously our language was formed here on our planet (?) so we call the moon a moon. Other planets have moons but they have individual names where ours is just 'the moon'. Every twinkling star you see in the night sky (and outside of cities you see a WHOLE lot more) is a sun for someone else. Around most of those starry suns are planets with different shapes of people living on some of them. And on some of those planets there are unusual looking people who didn't pay attention at school asking if the moon they see in their sky is a moon or a freaking planet and somewhere on that planet is a guy sitting at his computer thinking 'WHY ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID ?'
To add to the confusion: in astrology, the Sun and Moon are planets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planets_in_astrology#Classical_planets

People exactly like this, with not an ounce more knowledge of biological science, are also the ones who tell you to 'do your research' about vaccines.
ReplyDeleteAll those words spoken, all those words typed, not once was the word "satellite" used.
