But that will not make it so

Oh golly Jolyon slipped up. Psssst dude you’re not supposed to admit that people can’t change what they are just by saying so, except in the case of purely social or cultural or legal types of “what they are.” As in, profession or political leaning or music preferences, yes; species or age or sex, no. You’re not supposed to admit that a law can’t make you literally the sex you are not.

    I’ve been living out of the UK so long that I don’t know the answer to this question: why Rwanda? Who chose Rwanda? Why not North Korea, or Iraq, or Iran?

    On another point, I’ve always been under the impression that it was green cheese the moon was made of. Wouldn’t cream cheese be a bit messy for landing spacecraft?

    Messy but tasty. Add some garlic and herbs and you’re all set.

    So the moon is a giant Boursin?

    Pity, I was holding out for a nice bit of St. Marcellin.
