They Moved The Moon
Question 1: What if you took away the moon, and instead put other celestial bodies at the same distance; how big or small would they appear to be?
Question 2: Is this the sort of thing you would like the Gormogons to do? Because we will, if that’s what you want. We might do it anyway, even if you don’t. It is a day full of whimsy.
Anyway, some nice animation work by Brad Goodspeed. Although ironically, the video could be a bit quicker.
Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
