Default ...and if the moon was destroyed

That's right! Forget speed cameras. Just leave it to Darwin! Eventually,
only the safe drivers will survive and breed. :-)


But what about all the cars that learn to copulate successfully during
all those accidents? Will they eat us all?

Yn erthygl , sgrifennodd
Col :
I have heard that without a moon life outside the sea would never
have developed because there would have been no rock pools
as a 'stepping stone' to land.


Of course that is simply untrue anyway, as the sun is responsible
for an element of the tides. I suspect at the distance that Mars
is from the sun, were there any seas on Mars the tidal influence
of the sun may be minimal (but I'm not going to do the calculations...)
but here it's not.
