Haha..this is really something I read on the Internet.
A University professor has a moonstruck solution to the Earth's weather problems. He wants to blow up the moon - or at least send it somewhere else. "It's the only way to rid the world of scorching deserts and artic winters," says Professor Alexander Abian, a mathematician at the University of Iowa. He claims that by getting rid of the moon, the Earth will then be able to shift into a "more desirable orbit." The suggestion which has been greeted with hoots and hollers from the world's scientific community, has been presented by the 65-year old Armenian-born expert to the American government. Abian suggests strategically placed hydrogen bombs on the Earth's satellite can either blow it apart, or send it careening into outer space, maybe even into the sun. It all depends where you put the charges, he says. "We've been held hostage by the moon for 5 million years, and we've been subjected to violent extremes in weather, not to mention that the planet is slowly becoming a desert. "It's time for a change." The change would make our weather less extreme, turn our deserts into fertile farm land, and make the north and south polar regions livable.
But other scientists disagree, suggesting the professor might be moonstruck. "If you lose the moon, you LOSE THE TIDES. And if you melt the polar caps, you're going to flood the seacosts of every continent," one scientist explains. Another climate expert says blowing up the moon would turn Earth into "a bleak, seasonless planet, not to mention the fact that we would lose the tides." Famed romance writer Barbara Cartland offers the best argument against Abian's plan. Without moonlight, she says, love would flee the Earth. "People long for romance and no professor should be allowed to rob them of it," she says...
and FRANKLY SPEAKING I agree
