The Moon

shygirl4 · April 2, 2004

SHYGIRLS QUIZ :)

lets see how many of these questions you guys get right, (without re-searching the answers on the internet) just take a guess, its just for fun, Ill post the answers tomorrow.

1/Is the Moon hollow?

2/Is the Moon moving away from the Earth?

3/Can I buy land on the Moon?

4/Can you fire a gun on the Moon?

5/how many people have landed on the moon?

6/Will the Moon be invisible in 500 million years?

Shy ::)

Timenn · April 2, 2004

1) No, well it depends on what you call hollow. Our Earth, for instance, I don't call hollow

2) It depends on where it is in orbit, it is constantly moving either away, or moving closer. Since the orbit has the shape of an elipse

3) I'm not surprised if there was some stupid law that allows people to buy land on the moon ;D

4) I believe firing a gun needs oxygen (for the combustion) so then the answer is no (no oxygen, or other gasses found there)

5) Eh... about 15?

6) Hmm, you'll never know what will happen in the coming 500 million years, but I'll guess you can still see it then. 500 million years is not very much when speaking of the universe

Terror · April 2, 2004

1. Hollow? errr, no

2. more like circling, depens on what you mean with moves away.

3. I guess.. at least i could buy land on mars

4. I bet you need oxygen for that so i'd say no

5. dunno.... 20 or so?

6. ehh :O no... unless someone decides to install a gigantic stealth generator...

drahgoon · April 2, 2004

1. good question, i'll go up and check...

2. like timenn said,

it depends on where it is in orbit, it is constantly moving either away, or moving closer. Since the orbit has the shape of an elipse...

3. yes you can, i own 1 hektare up there, rite by the eye of the man in the moon...

4. you need O² for the combustion of the gunpowder, although a laser is different...

5. 12 men but no women... yet...

6. its a hard question, since that is a long time it wouldn't matter to you cause if you always look up, you will see it...

ExSPlug · April 3, 2004

2/No, read from somewhere that the orbit is getting closer and closer to Earth.

3/yes

4/That depends on how you define a gun...

5/dunno...

*organ game show music plays*

OK, now we've met the contestants lets get to the game, I'm going to ask an amount of four questions and your going to try to answer them correctly, now you out there in the audience can answer along with them.

1)How many feathers are on a pordu chicken?

2)How many fibres are intertwined in a shredded wheat biscuit?

3)What does 'tush et lele pu' mean?

4)How many times did the batmobile catch a flat?

5)Did I just make these questions up just now?

GUNWOUNDS · April 3, 2004

yes you can fire a gun on the moon because there is oxygen mixed in with the gunpowder itself inside the charge cap.

GUNWOUNDS · April 3, 2004

oh i can prove this simply by stating that a beretta can fire underwater..... obviously there is no oxygen underwater ... so that supports my claims that there must be enough oxygen mixed with the gunpowder inside the charge cap. 8)

Andrew · April 3, 2004

H2O is water. But yes I know what you mean by no oxygen in water. :)

Procyon · April 4, 2004

WTF!! If there`s no Oxygen in H2O, why theres life in the sea !! If you mean the O2 molecule, then that`s another story.

I really don`t know why a gun can fire underwater or the moon, but I don`t think that there`s O mixed with gunpowder. I think that fire needs gaseous O2, I`m right?

About the moon moving out the Earth, have you heard about the Centripete(?) force? I think that all the corpses orbiting a star/planet/bigger corpse are attracted.

GUNWOUNDS · April 4, 2004

I really don`t know why a gun can fire underwater or the moon, but I don`t think that there`s O mixed with gunpowder. I think that fire needs gaseous O2, I`m right?

gunpowder is not packed into a charge cap at 100% density.....there is a small bit of room in the charge cap that isnt filled with gunpowder and that small bit of room is filled with

Terror · April 4, 2004

But it's cool though... should some aliens decide to take over the moon, we'll be waiting for them with our gunpowder weapons instead of swords and knives. Well, it's kinda reassuring.

Timenn · April 4, 2004

Eh... You can find oxygen in water (not that from H₂O) How else do you think sea life can live? They don't break apart water molecules, but they filter out the oxygen of the water, like we filter out oxygen from the air. The reason why we can't breath underwater is because our lungs aren't designed for it.

Terror · April 4, 2004

hmm i don't know... but i don't think that a gun could fire using the oxygen that it finds in the sea. And isn't the oxygen and the gunpowder stored in every single bullet?

fremfedeliteNIAC · April 4, 2004

Lol. Everyone's just ignored me.

Well, twinkie you came close with 'yes' for number 6 but unfortunatly the answer was NO, I didn't. These questions came from De La Soul and 'Intro' from 3 feet high and rising.

I'll leave the answers to 1-5 for *you* to find out. Thanks and goodnight.

Necroticon · April 4, 2004

Of course the moons not hollow... Its made out of cheese! Didnt you know?

Procyon · April 4, 2004

How about a machine gun or a rifle? Can you fire it also in the moon or underwater?

How much space does tha Air use in the cap? How presurized is the air?

thomas · April 4, 2004

any weapon using an encased round may do so.
