Oh, and what about the Easter Bunny? Remember these are the same people that brought you that cheesy "USA Lands Man On The Moon" movie. Well, I've got news for ya! There has been a man on the moon since 1960. Maybe even before that. I saw him again last night when the full moon was 20 times it's normal size and so bright we had to wear welders goggles. It was like paddling blind in a sea of white. Hell we couldn't even see the water 'cause the glare hurt so much. The man on the moon was so big you could count the whiskers on his chin! SO . . .so stuff that in you rocket engine and light it up.
