Moon May Have Once Had Water

Smivs writes "US scientists have found evidence that water was held in the Moon's interior, challenging some elements of the theory of how Earth's satellite formed.The Moon is thought to have been created in a violent collision between Earth and another planet-sized object. Scientists thought the heat from this impact had vaporised all the water. But a new study in Nature magazine shows water was delivered to the lunar surface from the interior in volcanic eruptions three billion years ago. This suggests that water has been a part of the Moon since its early existence."

    Hook-nosed Jews stole water from the moon, just like they did from Palestine.

      so he's funny for misreading the headline and then making an obnoxious comment about it, but I'm a troll for properly reading his post and making an obnoxious comment?

      I believe the OP was poking good fun at what he believed to be a grammatical error in the submission's subject line. Unfortunately, there is no error. Simply an awkward construct, not unlike an obnoxious comment trying to be funny.

      I'd suggest you be kind to the mods by being judicious in what you post, as they're the ones stuck having to read and consider everything you post. They may return the favour. And the rest of us may appreciate it as much.

    Shouldn't the subject of your post be: "English may once have had grammar" or "English may have had grammar once"?

    3 points: First, that's what you folks get for collaborating with Adolph Hitler to exterminate the Jews, so excuse me if I have trouble feeling sorry for all the bad karma you're now reaping (see Mohammad Amin al-Husayni).
              Second, the Israel/Palestine issue is really a red herring to keep your eyes off of the failed theocracies that surround Israel. Keep the people agitated about the Jews and they won't notice that they're living in a hellhole that the rest of the developed world "left in the dust" centuries ago.
              And third, Islam's dirty little secret: most Muslims who die violently do so at the hands of other Muslims, either because they aren't observing the proper brand of Islam, or because they're viewed as necessary casualties to send a political message. Ever hear of voting, you backwards apes? Or nonviolent resistance? How would Ghandi or Martin Luther King, Jr. be viewed today if they'd incited young men and women to strap bombs to their chests and detonate themselves in crowded markets or aboard buses? So excuse me if I have trouble sympathizing with people whose turbans are wrapped a little too tightly. My recommendation: lose the dirty towel and try getting some more pussy. Oh, and about getting more pussy, try not to act so repressed about it. I've been to Middle Eastern countries, and I know first-hand that you Muslim men are filthy horndog pigs just like men everywhere else. You make lewd calls to women walking alone through the streets, and then head over to the local mosque to lick the ground right afterward. This doesn't cause you any cognitive dissonance?
