Total eclipse of the Moon

[Gob]

Self-styled messiah Sun Myung Moon, whose Unification Church became famous for marrying thousands of people in a single ceremony, has died, aged 92.

Moon set up the Church, whose members are often called Moonies, in the 1950s in the South Korean capital, Seoul.

He claimed to have millions of members, many in the US, but was accused of brainwashing and profiteering.

Moon built up a global business empire, setting up newspapers, arms factories, universities and food distributors.

He was a fervent anti-Communist and was closely associated with US President Richard Nixon's administration in the early 1970s.

Church officials told the Associated Press news agency that Moon died on Monday at a hospital near his home in Gapyeong, north-east of Seoul.

He had been admitted to the hospital, which is owned by the Church, two weeks ago suffering from pneumonia.

Thanks that graph helps illustrate my point perfectly, and as one should automatically intuit it's blue...

[The Hen]

Yes, the moon was blue.

Funny how Armstrong and Moon passed in a blue moon.

Fitting really

A fervent anti-communist the Lying Reverend Moon was a regular supporter of RW causes and used his ownership of the Washington Times to further right-wing causes.

Republicans all like lying and promote it as often as they can; as the latest convention proves.

Then why aren't you a Republican rube? You're the biggest liar here, as has been proven over and over....

Most recently here:

If you truly hate lying and liars, then you've got major self loathing issues....

It's like when you bloviate about the Republicans being the party of stupid people...

We can't be all that good at rounding up all the stupid people if we can't even get a guy who's math skills are so poor he can't figure out a one column table, (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7131&p=88308&hilit= ... ies#p88308) and who's reading comprehension skills are so sub-standard that he can't fight his way through a simple article written in basic English, (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7205&p=89096&hilit=krugman#p89096) to sign up with us...

No doubt about it...

Our liar and idiot attracting skills need some work, if we can't even get someone as mendacious and ignorant as you to get on board....

He has issues, Jim.

Let him be, his own personal suffering is testament to his inablity to reason with others here is a constructive way.

Always in threes. Now I see that Art Moondell just upped and died only 35 years or so after many Browns fans started praying for the event (c'mon you didn't think it only started in '96?).

Cause of death: diminished skills (breathing, blood circulation etc)

Always in threes.

I know, it's eerie....

I guess the porno actress Carrie Moon will be next....

[Sean]

Or Moon Unit Zappa...

[Gob]

Harvey Moon?

[Sean]

Maybe if they dig up and then re-bury Keith Moon the universe will be appeased.

[oldr_n_wsr]

Keith Moon was a great drummer. The Who went down hill after his passing. (and went further down when John Entwistle passed on).

[MajGenl.Meade]

Sydney "Full" Moon?

[Gob]

Scottish Full Moon.
