Things today that are making me ask 'why?'

[mrv3000]

1. Why does our moon have no name other than The Moon? Of all the completely lame-ass names.
   
   
2. Why are all big blockbusters usually sci-fi in nature, but sci-fi on TV can't find a big audience?
   
   
3. Why after being filled in on last night's Veronica Mars can't I stop saying "WTF?" ETA: Spoilers in the comments.

Uhm...

1. It does -- its name is Luna. Which is where the words lunar, lunatic and lunacy all derive from.

2. Because movies have much bigger budgets than TV, and more folks than not don't want to watch cheap SFX. It's all about the bling.

3. Can't help you out here... Veronica Mars never made it into my "to be watched" list.

And apropos of absolutely nothing, don't you hate it when random readers of your journal have too much time on their hands, and clearly no idea whatsoever when a rhetorical question is asked? ;)

1. Not according to wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon I want a proper name, dammit!

2. You're probably right.

3. Ah well.

Absolutely not!

1. A proper name? How does Arthur sound? Arthur the Moon. Or, if you like french better, Arthur la Lune.

2. Wow, I don't hear that very often.

4. Yeah, that's deep subject.

Oh, good. :D
