Either it is, or it isn't. Don't YOU really want to know, or it is
still OK to believe the moon is made of cheese and the earth is flat?
I heard it's just those warped polycarbonate windows on the all
spacecraft that make the earth appear to a globe. Of course the moon
isn't made of cheese! No one believed that one. Did they?

I've already commented earlier on the flat earth concept. It was
certainly reasonable in its time.

As for the moon being made of green cheese, I think that's been taken
out of context. If someone was to say that their car is "candy apple
red", nobody would think that the car was made out of apples. "Green
cheese" does not refer to a green color. If I referred to a new
employee as being green, you would not expect their skin to be green.
"Green" means new. If you have ever seen green cheese (cheese that was
just made and hasn't ripened at all), you would instantly realize that
it is exactly the color of the moon.
