Can someone explain to me the link between Poi and man visiting the moon?
Can someone explain to me the link between Poi and man visiting the moon?
The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.-- Ken Kesey

I don't understand the link but it's a great poll. I am suprised how many people believe it was faked. Mini Thistle came up with some interesting questions, If Neil Armstrong was really the first man on the moon who was already there filming and taking photos of him stepping out of the craft? and, As there is only one source of light on the moon, ie:the sun, why is there more than one shadow in the photos? Two or more shadows implicate two or more light sources like in a studio? Her conclusion was they are lying to us. Aren't kids brilliant!

Just a few thoughts
The spaceship had lights (pleural) on it, therefore it follows from this, that more than one shaddow is cast by the same man. Also I think the camera was mounted on the exteriour of the craft.

I find those arguments unconvincing given the existence of camera booms and artificial lighting.
I'm sure NASA had the technology to aim a camera on a boom correctly and put floodlights on the landing shuttle to make sure they had good pictures, even in 1969.

Well... I have two answers to this... one I'll tell now... and two, if I get a request... I'll write a story... but so far, the answer is... they both have o's... simple...

The Russains admitted that they did try to debunk the US landing on the moon.
The funny thing is why people are talking about it now. It's pretty obvious that it's been done and technology has only increased since then.
If you believe in cell phones and the internet I think a walk on the moon is pretty doable...

*sigh* People like to believe fairy tales.
Do a search on the internet and you find loads of sites about this. Like this one.
Thistle, she's got brains and uses them, that's cool! Camera boons, they wanted to film the historic moment well. 3 light sources on the moon - Sun, the Earth and the moon (it's very reflective).
Oh, the the link with Poi? The moon is like a poi head, spinning round the Earth. If we had another moon, and put big rockets on them, we'd be able to use our moons as poi! How cool would that be! Unfortuately whole swathes of land would become uninhabitable due to the insanely unpredictable tides, but that's the price you pay for Interplanetary Poi!

Now what do these two strange things have in common... well sit back and fall to the dream like state all movies take you to.
This story, like other stories begin in a quiet part of a quiet little town, on a quiet little island... as you may have guessed... it's pretty quiet.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping the wind it blowing, the stars are glowing. Everything is just right, not a single problem in the world could ever come to harm this quiet little town.
Now the camera pans to the trees of this tiny little quiet island to slowly focus on a small monkey... sitting there, in that tree... scracthing his butt, and then smell he's finger, like every other monkey does... but this is no ordinairy monkey...
You see, this monkey, even as he doesn't know yet... and please don't tell him... he hasn't read this yet... will be the first monkey to be launched in to the dark sheat which covers our sky... space for all you who haven't caught on...
Alone this monkey sits happierly munching on he's tail... eating bugs... pulling he's own finger. Until, until that day he's whole life was turn compeltly upside over...
The day he's quiet little part of that quiet little town, on that quiet little island became a McDonalds... didn't see that one coming did ya...
In a fit of rage, in such anger, with such hatedred he took he's burger back with the coment of... "Boo Ba Bee Ja Nono... (There's a pickle on my burger). Then stormed out of the building swaying he's tail.
At that moment... our hero was asked for the time, and being the kind giving monkey he was, smiled at the man, pulled he's fur over his wrist up to look at he's watch... at that moment he was swiped with a net and thrown into the back of a black van which had writen on the side Flowers By Internet...
He was then taken to a small building in a land where he saw many flashing lights skimming the sky, blue, red, green. And then strapped into a chair with colourful pictures, dots, lines, screens and a banana which hang from the roof just beyond hes reach.
This was a ship of some kind... no doubt there... and the fact that above the control panel it said "This is a space ship, keep out of reach of small children" proved it.
A timer began to count down... and our monkey knew this was a big problem... for he remembered he hadn't turned off the oven, nor hung out the washing.
3, 2, 1... the rocket blew its fuse... screaming skywards at a speed the monkey could only match with his finger pulling skills... traveling towards the huge white ball... the moon... again for all you who haven't caught on still... I mean, what are you still doing reading this if you have no idea what I'm on about... no no... read... almost done... I think, haven't decide if I'll do an Ep2...
Traveling faster than that fly I can't get, the ship sudenly stops and lands softly on the surface. The door slowly opens, with mist and a bright light comimg out of the ship... you know the sence where they build it up with that light thing behind a door... yeah... that...
And out comes our hero... unhurt and not worried, until he tries to bite he's tail... and sees it's not there... itching his head, again noticing his ears have fallen off, this must have been from the speed of the craft, and returns into the ship to look for the rest of his body... as you would...
And there they were... laying in a dark conner... hard to see... glowing bright... his tail had split into two and each piece of the tail had moulded onto an ear... sadness grew in the monkey... for his ear were now part of his tail, and his tail could now hear him befor he bit it.
Then his sorrow turned when he pick each piece up and saw that they swayed when he held them... and he moved them faster, and they made a circle... he was twirling... he was the first to ever twirl, well, first monkey any way... and it was only a matter of time till he set them on fire... like everyone one else here has done, I'm sure... you've all set your ears on fire... I'm not the only one am I???
And that's what they really have in common...

I mock you with my monkey pants.

Yis I like the monkey story. Another reason that I didn't see anyone mention about the hoax thingy is: the radiation of the earths atmosphere is strong enough to flashfry an elephant. How the hell could a space ship make it thruogh

If you follow my kindly provided link above that question is answered.
The scary thing is, a lot of people happily say "But what about the...." when they know little or nothing about what they're using as evidence. Rather they base their faith of a statement on emotion not reason.
As a point in case I met a lovely woman on the weekend, who swore that cancer cells could grow on cooked food, but not on raw food. So she only ate raw food. She quoted this to people as fact, because she'd read it somewhere, printed by a raw food fanatic. I pointed out this was rubbish, she said it was true, and I politley pointed out that growing cancer cells used to be part of my job and so I knew exactly what they would and wouldn't grow on. It's all about a little bit of balanced research.

Dom, it wasn't me saying those things it was my 13 year old daughter. (Although you're right, I have got brains I'm just not sure where I left them!)
As for the woman who believes cancer cells only grow in cooked food does that mean she believes that only cooked life forms get cancer? or that eating cooked food gives you cancer?
I liked the Monkey story.

Thistle, I knew it was your daughhter. My punctuation just wasn't clear enuf.
I believe she believed that by only eating raw food she'd never get cancer. I think I was very mean that day and shook some of her foundations, but hopefully the new ones will be a bit stronger.

Just a point for consideration, the stars provide much more light on the surface of the moon than they do on earth due to the atmosphere (or lack there of)
Isn't it funny in all the sci-fi movies ever created no-one ever ever thought up a craft that didn't hit the outer atmospher at insane speeds and begin glowing like rudolphs nose with a case of the flue. Guess they just never realised that the only thing causing the heat was air resistance.....oh well....
