Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Smiley Moon What would you do if you had a billion dollars? I don’t know about you… but I would definitely develop a method to draw a smiley face on the moon. Call me crazy, but can you think of a better legacy to leave behind? Yeah. I didn’t think so.

Think about it. Future generations of mankind would look up in the sky at night, only to see a big smiling face. Wars would cease to exist! How could people even think about fighting with a giant smile in the sky?

Or maybe we could sell the moon one pixel at a time? Like the milliondollarhomepage.com site did?

Maybe we could use a high powered laser that would burn the dust and turn it black or something… *scratched his head*. What do you think?

Seriously though, what would you do if you walked outside one night and noticed a smiley face on the moon?

If I saw that I’d immediately rush out and make some blueberry flapjacks! They’d be all warm and toasty with butter melting on top! Mmmm…

Graffiti on moon sounds nice… can we get lasers that would leave coloured patches instead of just black and white? LOL

Tom, this idea is brilliant. Besides eliminating war, how would your proposal feed the starving people of this world?

Cheese. The laser would slice the cheese from the moon and the pieces would fall to the earth, feeding all the hungry people.

I’ve got a scenario for you, Tom. Imagine if the moon already had a smiley face and imagine if we didn’t know who put it there and if it had been there for at least thousands of years. Wouldn’t that be weird!

Also, the moon in that picture is super huge.

You would have to sign it – brainfuel.tv 2006

And what happens when you get half-moons/cresent moons, only half a face??

I like the cheese idea!

The biggest problem is half the world would see it upside-down.
