Who owns the moon? (Page 2)

lori100: Niels Bohr, one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics said it , not me...

LiptonCambell: can you present the context? Didn't you present Stephen Hawkings jokes as an admission of aliens before? You clearly take people out of context...

Corwin: As usual, Lori's comments were TOTALLY out of context, and words twisted to suit her fancy.

The discussion between Bohr and Einstein was about Quantum Entanglement, and how observation of an electron effects our ability to measure it. Einstein made the "JOKE" about how he prefers to believe that the Moon is still there even if he is not looking at it.

IT WAS A JOKE... the rules of the Quantum world of the inside of an atom do NOT apply to the larger Universe, and both Einstein and Bohr knew this... but that's why the joke was FUNNY.

Corwin: And proving that the Moon is still there without looking at it is a simple matter... just measure the tides.

lori100: how do you know it was a joke?

Corwin: I explained that already.

Corwin: If you're going to quote people out of context, it really doesn't matter what your source is.

Oh, and Lori's "Matter isn't Real" forum is that way ------------>

Corwin: Oh... so you studied up on Quantum Entanglement already?? In 13 minutes??
That's quite impressive... can I quiz you on it now?

nawtycat_cpl: The answer to your question is very simple: as possession is nine thenths of the law, if the moon is physically in your private posssession and you state/claim that you are the lawful owner = you will be legally recognized as such! I wish you good luck with obtaining it! lolol

Corwin: The answer is even simpler than that.

I own the Moon.

nawtycat_cpl: You go Corvin! I own the night and all fun in the world!

Corwin: Oh neat.
I'll tell you what... I'll trade you 50% shares of the moon for 20% of the night and 16% of all fun.
Not a bad deal, I think, especially considering it's a buyer's market.

And my billboard deal with Sony is quite lucrative... I should think you would want a piece of that.

LiptonCambell: haha own the night...made me think of this

quarks: Hárr from his thrown clearly explained the moon.. "A certain man was named Mundilfari, who had two children; they were so fair and comely that he called his son Moon, and his daughter Sun, and wedded her to the man called Glenr. But the gods were incensed at that insolence, and took the brother and sister, and set them up in the heavens; they caused Sun to drive those horses that drew the chariot of the sun, which the gods had fashioned, for the world's illumination, from that glowing stuff which flew out of Múspellheim. Those horses are called thus: Early-Wake and All-Strong; and under the shoulders of the horses the gods set two wind-bags to cool them, but in some records that is called 'iron- coolness.' Moon steers the course of the moon, and determines its waxing and waning. He took from the earth-two children, called Bil and Hjúki, they that went from the well called Byrgir, bearing on their shoulders the cask called Sægr, and the pole Simul. Their father is named Vidfinnr. These children follow Moon, as may be seen from the earth."

it would seem the gods own both Moon and Sun! by all means battle Thor if you wish! ( : 

quarks:
Quarks.... those yes I own Quarks! all Quarks are mine!

Corwin: I own daylight saving time.

demented diode: I was always told there was a man on the moon maybe its his

Corwin: I had that freeloader evicted after I took ownership. He's now living on the Cydonia Planitia on Mars, but I hear that he's not paying the indigenous Martians rent either, so he'd better not make himself too comfy there either.

LiptonCambell: I own Pacific Standard Time.

Oddly enough, i'm in Eastern Time Zone.

nawtycat_cpl: Thanks for the offer Corvin, it';s much appreciated! Not sure why you we need any kind of percentage split at all??? Isn't sharing = to caring....fun n all....my counter offer is "We both have fun all night long in the moonlight"....

Corwin: Awww... that's very sweet of you. Who could refuse an offer like that.
