And by that I mean this

Perhaps it could flash on and off at full moon spouting calming poetry?

SaintGeorge, thanks for the link. Alas, we can't use that for various dull technical reasons. The one we have is perfectly fine, it's just it uses a lookup table of sorts and we've only populated it until the end of the year.

SaintG, we do realise that right now the moon is dark. However, there was a problem with the calculator which would have meant that it never would have been anything but dark. That's sorted hopefully, though someone should remind us that it will break again at the end of the year if we don't fix it properly.

And with that, normal moon service is resumed. If you prefer Slur's moon, as it shall henceforth be known, don't click refresh on a MN Talk page and you can enjoy it for the rest of the day.

have we messed with thte space time continuum? is there a white hole spewing time into our dimension? whays the csreen gone all flashy and movey abouty?

mehgalegs · 29/09/2008 17:29

Was going to say same as St G. It's a new moon so only a tiny slither is showing which is why the box looks dark. i likey that moon doh.

That is scary!!!

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 17:24

oh YAY!!

SaintGeorge · 29/09/2008 17:21

Cute, but why?

The moon is not knackered, she is just dark, like every month.

Leave her alone.

YetMoreTech, I love it!

This has just been brought to my attention.

I've fended off various not-all-that-funny jokes about someone having switched off the moon, the moon needing a reboot, someone needs to CTRL+ALT+DEL the moon, etc. And it's still knackered.

In the mean time, Slur et al, you might want to hit the refresh button in your browser. And no, it doesn't mean we'll respond to every whimsical request... It's really just a ploy to get you off our backs whilst I find someone to fix it properly.

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 17:13

To be fair, they did go from him to her to him, but yes, him.

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 16:59

lolol

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 16:59

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 16:58

Purple alert! Purpler alert!

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 16:57

It has to be old Holly though

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 16:57

now you mention it , c rikey is a bit serious...

awooga! awooga! abandon ship!

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 29/09/2008 16:55

No she said 'crikey' this obviously means the moon crisis is very important and top of their adgenda.

I will surely get a prize......

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 16:52

nah, i bet geraldines never really noticed the moon much either.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 29/09/2008 16:48

SEE I knew it wasn't normal. [smug emoticon]

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 16:47

no no, geraldine, panic not, we've already had a thread about this one being invisible... its all perfectly normal according to stG and other people who know these things.

just, when the moon does come back, can we have her all different. and special. and funny. pls.
