Hey! These make a lot more sense if you didn’t know that the moon is hundreds of thousands of miles away and is the size of Australia. I mean, you would have to have some sort of divine revelation to be accurate about that! Oh… wait.
I just read your comment, and was, the moon surely is bigger than Australia. It turns out the moon’s diameter is about half the width of Australia going east to west. So, TIL, thanks for that.
Huh, i had to check this out as well. The moon’s diameter is about half the size i had in mind. I thought it was about half of Earth’s diameter. I guess talk about the moon being uncommonly large for Earth’s size, has slowly skewed my view or something…
Well it doesn’t say two equal pieces. Technically if I pick up a rock, I’ve split the world into two pieces: ‘this rock’ and ‘not this rock’ although I’m not sure I would consider it “clefting the world asunder” unless I was feeling very dramatic.
I believe “cleft” is the past participle of “cleave”
Need a anime about Islam.
We got one about Buddha and Jesus.
I had no idea there was one about the Buddha. It must be as fascinating as watching paint dry.
Tune in next week for episode #2,058 in The Buddha:
Siddharth has a long discussion with some monks about stuff, meets with a god who tells him he is correct, walks to the neighboring town, and then tells a person a parable.
Edit: not exaggerating here. It is multiple times longer than the Bible and is all about one guy.
Those aren’t jokes! That was an early Doctor Who episode leak!
Is this just attempting to one up … what is it, the book of Joshua, where the sun just stays still for 72 hours?
It would really be the Earth staying still. If the sun stayed still relative to the galactic centre, we would still have daylight cycle on Earth, and probably wouldn’t notice that the sun’s orbit of the galactic centre had been paused by a few Earth hours.
Is this the backstory for Rage?
Could be adopted into Dragonball universe
I how people believe that ?
