Water!

Not sure if you heard the news, but yes there is water on the moon. It has been hinted at since the moon was first studied by NASA that water may exist on this desolate satellite. Even the Apollo mission detected trace amounts of water, but this was thought to be from contamination of the astronauts. This previously thought conquered rock has proven to still have a few tricks up its sleeve.

Now that water is found, what's next? With water comes life, so many doors are opened with this small (32 ounces per ton of moon surface), yet significant finding. If there is water on the moon then where else may water be, and what secrets still lye in our own solar system. I suspect there will be some surprising developments involving the moon in upcoming decades. These developments may lead to a chain reaction that decreases the need to look to a galaxy far, far away for "spatial adventure." I can only imagine what else is still unknown about our surroundings.

Here's an article if you want to know more:

Ode to BK

Burger King has all the great snacks,
If your mom loves you it is what she packs,
Breakfast, lunch, and even dinner,
Expect BK to be the winner.

Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries galore,
Chicken sangwiches, cola, and grease for sure.
Ketchup or mayo, you be the boss,
They're both a great catch, just ask Randy Moss.

Don't be fooled by other fast food,
BK has class and sets the mood.
Ronald and Wendy may have their own offer,
But the King is on top because he has the Whopper.
