GIVE OUR MOON A NAME!


[+] serious ballot by Ken_from_Dublin
ACTIVE Wed Sep 13, 06 - Mon Jun 08, 09

I was just thinking of a good idea for a ballot and the thought occurred to me that 'the moon' as we call it quite simply doesn't have a name!

It's actually the only moon in the solar system not named after some Greek, Roman or Norse God or Goddess, it's extraordinary when you think about it, it would be like referring to our Earth as 'The Planet'.

So what would you call the moon if you won some competition that conferred upon you the honour of officially naming it? (No naming it after yourself, relatives, loved ones or friends please)

My choice is the Greek Goddess of the moon, Celine.

What would be yours?

Celine
Diana
Guddha, God of Cheese
Keep it "the Moon"
Don
Fred
Ralph
Jeremy
Spot
bush
Luna
Cheesehead
The Moon
Muna ('moo-na')

For Diana, the goddess of the hunt and the moon.

Let's keep it "the Moon." Maybe it being the only body in the solar system *not* named for a Greek/Roman god/goddess makes it *more* important. And it would be sort-of weird to look up at the sky and say, "Wow, Diana's bright tonight." lol

Luna: (Roman mythology) the goddess of the moon; counterpart of Greek Selene

Research bitch!

"Some think the name of the Moon is Luna, but that is only true if one is speaking or writing in a Romance (Latin based) language such as Spanish. English dictionaries inform us that Luna is the name of one of several ancient Roman Goddesses of the Moon, not the Moon itself."

It's Luna.

yes, luna sounds right


and this planet is called "terra"
by neothe1 on Thu Sep 14, 06 8:16pm [+]

^^^This planet is called 'Earth' actually, you should visit us sometime.
by Ken_from_Dublin on Thu Sep 14, 06 10:32pm [+]

the name of the planet is terra, aka sol III. i know your god might not agree, bushie, but he's not an authority over anyone anymore
by neothe1 on Fri Sep 15, 06 12:19am [+]

apperently "tellus" also applies, both are latin and may have the same origin. and sol can also be called helios, the greek version, and the greek for luna is selene.
by neothe1 on Fri Sep 15, 06 12:28am [+]

You forgot to call me a 'murderer', or maybe you are returning to Terra Firma in installments.

Beam me up Scotty.
by Ken_from_Dublin on Fri Sep 15, 06 2:32am [+]

It's called Luna.

Voted : Diana
I like this ballot. It's fun and not mean.
by Black_Lava on Fri Sep 15, 06 12:14pm [+]

"You forgot to call me a 'murderer'"

"bushie" is synonymous.
by neothe1 on Fri Sep 15, 06 8:09pm [+]

You're to be pitied neothe, I don't even think you respect yourself anymore. Sad.
by Ken_from_Dublin on Fri Sep 15, 06 8:20pm [+]

ah, more right wing talking points (aka bulshit)
by neothe1 on Sat Sep 16, 06 12:30am [+]

Are you aware you are now known and referred to as the village idiot of Best and Worst.com Neothe^^^

You are a laughing stock - with more spam than that famous Monty Python sketch.
by Ken_from_Dublin on Sat Sep 16, 06 8:06am [+]

you've been defeated, bushie. go report your failure to your superiors.
by neothe1 on Sat Sep 16, 06 10:16am [+]

You believe Bush knew, and that is was to facilitate a war in Iraq, he allowed his fellow Americans to be murdered by your own admission, what should be his punishment neothe1?
by Ken_from_Dublin on Sat Sep 16, 06 3:14pm [+]

i believe nothing. that's your way of doing things. but beliefs don't change facts.
by neothe1 on Sat Sep 16, 06 3:57pm [+]

you can't protect them, murderer.
by neothe1 on Sat Sep 16, 06 4:00pm [+]

I can't protect who? ( I need to know as I'm doing an open university thesis on paranoia and persecution complexes)
by Ken_from_Dublin on Sun Sep 17, 06 1:41am [+]

stop telling LIES neothe1.

Everyone can read your stupid LIES on ballot 97082 and see where you first started to try that particular game of yours - because you so blatantly and outrageously lied about MrFatNose being Osama bin Laden in that OBVIOUSLY FAKE "confession video" and nobody was going to accept yur lies.

Tank_Girl had NOT posted ballot 98784, but YOU LIED as is already proven and stated that she'd said on that ballot that WTC 1 and WTC 2 had "imploded", since she didn't post on that ballot at all, then she OBVIOUSLY didn't say anything of the kind. YOU then LIED AGAIN and tried to claim that I had stated WTC 1 and WTC 2 had "imploded", and yet again YOU were caught LYING, this time by Meteor7 who pointed out that YOU were playing a strawman argument and attempting to misrepresent what I had stated

We KNOW that you defend the Bush Administration's criminal actions because you, neothe1, go out of your way to make personal attacks on all those who are sceptical of the 9/11 Official Lies, and tell great big whopping lies in their defence. It's CLEAR AS DAY that you are a government shill because you ALWAYS make personal attacks against 9/11 sceptics like me and you ALWAYS try to defend the Official Pile of Utter Bullshit and LIES. You're a shill, and a very obvious one.

By the way, you STILL have not provided ANY EVIDENCE to show that those cellphone calls were possible.

It is a FACT that it's impossible to make cellphone calls from passenger planes flying at cruising altitude six miles up and flying at over 450mph without an onboard cellular basestation (technology which wasn't available prior to 2004 and is still in testing stage), and it's a FACT that cellphone calls from a vehicle moving at over 450mph (even if successfully make the handshake when flying at low altitude) will only last a few seconds since there is no time for the hand-off; the call will ALWAYS drop out in just a few seconds - minutes long cellphone calls are IMPOSSIBLE.

It's a FACT before and after Sept 11 2001 that no steel-framed hi-rise or tower-style buildings have ever collapsed straightdown at close to freefall speed into their own footprint - except with controlled demolitions, and that it is IMPOSSIBLE without a controlled demolition according to the laws of PHYSICS.

It's a fact that NOBODY has ever successfully simulated the collapses of WTC 1, 2, & 7 without considering controlled demolition, and that means NOBODY. Not NIST, not, NOVA, Dr Eagar, FEMA, MIT, Bazant & Zhou, nor Dr Frank Green, nor anyone else. NOBODY has succeeded; those who have claimed to have done so, have ALWAYS been proven to be LIARS when their mathematical formula were checked.

It's a FACT, that there was NO INFERNO in either of the WTC twin towers. The temperatures of the fires never went above 360C, and apparently were around 250C, which is well below the 550C at which steel only barely begins to lose it's elasticity. Glass melts at 700C - There are no reports of melting glass at the towers, and the glass in the storeys above the fire didn't seem to break so the temperature was clearly way below 700C. Of the more than 170 areas examined on 16 perimeter column panels, only three columns had evidence that the steel reached temperatures above 250ºC - Only two core column specimens had sufficient paint remaining to make such an analysis, and their temperatures did not reach 250 ºC. Using metallographic analysis, NIST determined that there was no evidence that any of the samples had reached temperatures above 600 ºC. Kevin Ryan of UL had cited a similar figure (250C).

It's a FACT that there were hundeds of witnesses to explosions at the WTC buildings, and that their claims are supported by video evidence showing lines of explosions blowing out the floors before the falling debris could reach those floors, and there's seismic data showing impossibly short tremors revealing the use of explosives in those controlled demolitions

"I can't protect who?"

your masters, the bush administration. you can't save them, they will be brought down, you can't stop it.
by neothe1 on Sun Sep 17, 06 2:58pm [+]

Veeeery interesting, just taking a note of that, now, okay.... tell me neothe - is there any history of mental illness in your family, hereditary paranoid schizophrenia perhaps?
by Ken_from_Dublin on Mon Sep 18, 06 2:40pm [+]

typical conservative response, ignore the facts, stand by your leader, and insult anyone who opposes him. you sicken me.
