Don't let the title fool you.  This page is not about taking a bus to the moon (a slow but simple trip since there are no transfers to be made once you leave the earth's atmosphere).

I feel sorry for the moon.  It can't get away with anything without being watched by someone.  Wolves watch it, dogs howl at it, lovers gaze at it, and the tabloids continue to spread rumors about it being made of cheese. It can't even get hit with a meteorite without it being filmed and neither can if simply fly through space without some satellite watching it.  For instance, here is some video from NASA's STEREO B satellite.  It's pretty cool - but it figures NASA would have a cool stereo.

Here's a cool little application that lets you draw things that squiggle and crawl. If your small intestine had a traffic helicopter that reported on the flow of parasites and hittites to and from their work place, I think it would look something like this. It even has an x-ray mode.   Don't be afraid, though.  Remember parasites are our pals!

The whole thing reminds me of a medical test I had once.  They took this camera and . . . . never mind. 

What do singing in the shower, writing the great American novel, and doodling all have in common?  Most of us are not as good at it as we think.  Many of us may sing like Pavarotti in the shower, but few will ever cut a record deal. The best story in our head may never make it to print.  And all of the great works of art we doodle in our spare time will most likely never be placed in a gallery.

OK, I may be wrong about that last one.  Because now you can hang your doodles in an art gallery (as painful as that may sound).

Not since Forest Gump went to China to play ping pong has the world seen anything like this.  Ok, Forest Gump did not go to China, but these tricks are pretty cool.  I realize that there must have been many, many out-takes before this whole collection was put together, but let's give the guys credit for sticking with it.

From the looks of it, they are high school students and we'll just give them the benefit of the doubt that they had all their homework done. Yeah, right.
