  2. Life on the Moon? by starfarer42 · · Score: 5, Interesting
    When I was a kid I had a large mural on my bedroom wall that showed the classic photo of the Earth viewed from the surface of the Moon.

    I used to see all sorts of things in the rocky landscape. A lot of the things I saw looked liked gremlins to me, which featured prominently in my nightmares. Now that I look back on it, putting the mural on the wall was maybe not a good idea.

    At least I had the sense to realize that it was just my imagination. I never once thought there was anything actually living on the Moon.
