I can't remember the context, but a coworker said "I shouldn't have to care whether the moon gives off light or reflects it."

I remember being stunned..

    TBF there's a logic to this one. It's basically a science fact, and is unlikely to ever be important to someone's personal goals.

    That's maybe not a person most of us would have common ground with, though.

    True, I was mostly stunned someone wouldn't know that. If someone considers it possible that the moon emits light, then how would they explain phases?

    The moon is made of cheese and, like all cheeses, emits light under a low enough temperate (space is so cold it doesn't even have a temperature - it's just "cold"). The REAL mindbender, is why the space dust particles make the light all bright instead of dirty yellow, like how i like my cheese
