Saints Player back. Six minutes into the game. Is it gonna be one of those days?

Saints Player cuts out just before kick-off.

Saints Player begins seven minutes before kick-off for a home game? Why?

Can't hear Saints Player, yet. Does anyone else have it on?

Former-Saint scores againts us - typical!!

Saints Player - where the f**k are you?

Saints Player cutting in and out.

Took a knock, last game.

Come on, Saints! Saints Player down, already!!

Assuming that you're actually serious about this, may I ask who appointed you Chief Inspector of the Fashion Police? And when you use the phrase "embarrasing us ...", who is this "us"?

The OP did not mention having to teach this to a ten-year old.

Nice! I teach this stuff to 12 year olds every year. Not too much more advanced for a smart 10 year-old.

The key is equivalent fractions. 1) Equivalent fractions: multiply both terms (numerator and denominator) of the fraction 3/4 by 25 and you get 75/100. [And by the reverse process, divide both terms of the fraction 75/100 by 25 and you get the equivalent fraction of 3/4.] 2) Decimal numbers are decimal fractions; so 0.75 is the same as 75/100. 3) Percentages (by definition) are out of 100; so 75/100 is the same as 75% (75 out of 100).

Well, there you are. Your condescending attitude reflects the fact that NOTHING will convince you. You've already made up your mind. That's the way conspiracy-theorists work. By the way - what was Apollo 13 all about, then?

Check out this website, which has lots of information about third-party (non-NASA, non-US government) evidence of the Apollo missions to the Moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings Key evidence: dating of Moon rocks (via hundreds of independent experiments) puts then 200 million years older than any rocks ever found on Earth; and independent data received from laser light fired at reflectors on the Moon - reflectors that must have been placed there by astronauts.

And did you check out the Bad Astronomy website (Phil Plait)?

Are you aware that there were radio telescopes (independent of NASA) in Australia that tracked Apollo spacecraft flights to the Moon (trans-lunar injections)? Primary evidence from a non-NASA agency.

Spanish - very useful and relatively easy.

Very good!

Like the Hubble Telescope, you mean? Maybe if you contact whomever is in control of it, you can get them to do a photo of the Apollo landing sites? Especially if you tell them that you're a conspiracy theorist! Then again, maybe the Hubble telescope is just too close to the Moon?

Yes, choose the alternative ... if it turns your crank. Detail? Probably not photographed from the top of a ladder, or the top of a tree. My guess is that it was photographed from a satellite in orbit - many kilometers above the surface.

First of all, our perception of light, shade and shadows would be very different when standing in an atmosphere-free environment. The astronauts had a hard time judging distances on the Moon, for example. I recall watching a TV programme a while back that specialises in testing empirically commonly-held beliefs. I think it's called Mythbusters. They did several investigations into the main points made by the "moon-landings-were-a-hoax" crowd. They specifically looked at the issue of light seeming to come from more than one direction. I forget the details, but they discovered that the effects noticed in photographs could be explained. The key point is that the light conditions on the Moon are very different to those on Earth.
