It’s Official: Water Found on the Moon
Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called “unambiguous evidence” of water across the surface of the moon.
The moon remains drier than any desert on Earth, but the water is said to exist on the moon in very small quantities. One ton of the top layer of the lunar surface would hold about 32 ounces of water, researchers said.

“The top map is voting patterns in this 2008 election– the bottom map is cotton production in 1860…”
amazing. great demonstration of when graphical representations let us understand information in a clearer way. of course, i’d like to see some other maps as well - population density, racial distribution, etc, to get a clearer view of the correlation, but it’s still quite interesting. (pin the tail, big ups to dave for the link.)
I’m also troubled by…what members of the party say, and is permitted to be said, such things as ‘Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.’ Well, the correct answer is he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.
But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country?
The answer’s no. That’s not America.
