Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe I just saw an almost 10 minute breaking news report that concluded, after much ado, that: a) Killing animals is "bad" No exaggeration. The reporter literally closed with "And, as you can see here, as I feed them these crackers I'm attracting more and more and now they are just swarming (motions to group of five ducks in the lake) Thank you and goodnight." What's more, the spot upstaged the news of a murder investigation in Phoenix. Murder? Well, murder is all right. But if you want ratings, duck spots are where it's at. |

Mystery #153 – Sunroof vs. Moonroof
Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe I keep tabs on things I'd like to write about, and as I recently bought a car with a sun/moon roof, this topic naturally popped up. Now, originally I was simply going to compare the aesthetics of the two names, mainly that "moonroof" probably caters more to the vampire and werewolf demographic where "sunroof" must be geared more toward valley girls who want skin cancer. Then I decided to look up the two on wikipedia to figure out the actual textbook definition of each. What I found changed everything. See, a moonroof is generally of tinted glass which does not move, allowing light to shine through, while a sunroof is opaque but opens up to expose your head to the elements a la convertible. However, my car (and most cars made today with astral body roofs) sports a tinted glass window that opens. Which means I have a… "something that's a cross between a sun and a moon" roof? The powers at be, obviously not trying to help clear things up, refer to the new hybrid as a "moonroof", the design of which we owe to the American Sunroof Company… GAH!!! I can only find solace in the fact that, when all is said and done, nobody really cares anyway. |
