It's a wierd phenomenon when the moon is low in the sky. It appears very big but it is in fact just an illusion which does not appear to be fully explained.


If you bend over and look upside down through your legs it does not look big

Most men suffer the same optical phenomenon - things looking bigger between their legs.

It may not be a UFO but sometimes the posts on The Vine make me wonder if I have entered a parallel universe See here they really do exist

Sorry about that one guys, the mushroom ramble resulted in some very unfortunate consequences.

There could be up to 11 of you.

The scientist who invented this theory was E from the Eels' dad, incidentally.
