The Full Moon Happens Everywhere on the Same Day
Before The Open Story [NSFW],
I never believed that the full moon happens everywhere on the same day.
But now I have definitive proof.
See for yourself.
Keep in mind that these pics [and haiku] were posted online in the last thirty minutes and found somewhere on ::the open end:: seconds after they were posted. Enjoy!

That can’t be true. Douglas Duncan teaches us that the phases of the moon are caused by a combination of the Earth’s shadow and clouds (same thing that causes the seasons, by the way). The Earth’s shadow and cloud cover are going to be different depending on where you are on the planet, and since the moon is only out at night, it’s going to be in a different place in its rotation around the sun when it comes out in different places.
An alternative hypothesis is that the dark side of the moon is usually partially exposed as the moon rotates around its axis, and only at the perfect time is the bright side of the moon showing for the “full moon”.
That’s what The Open Story is now? Huh.

Can someone please assure me that this guy is joking?

I didn’t realize people thought the phases of the moon were regional. Are these people the same ones that think a ball with horizontal velocity will fall more slowly than one without?

Actually that’s obvious, no ‘proof’ needed.

The "moon" is just another government coverup of the Illuminati’s global surveillance program. Tell me this, if it’s always there, why can’t I see it in the day time? I’ve said too much…

God made it this way to show how equal we all are. Right?

dunno but i’m a little disturbed that the size of the moon with regard to it’s distance from earth and the sun, is the perfect size to eclipse the sun as viewed from earth.

LOL Yeah, I’ve heard that one too. (I’m hoping you where being sarcastic too?)
