    The funny thing about the Lenin bust is that when the US expedition arrived there afterward, they turned it from pointing at Moscow to pointing at DC (kinda ominous tho, if you ask me) out of spite and later, a Russian expedition came back and turned it back toward Moscow. Truly bizarre (although I assume they didn't go simply for that purpose, lol).

    @@angrytedtalks One of the requirements was also that it has to be in a primary orbit around the sun. So no the moon is not a planet. And earths orbit around the moon is inside earths surface, so I don't know about that. It's like saying that the earth and the sun is a binary system, cause the sun jiggles a tiny bit when earth orbits it. QI is not really factual.

    @@wujekcientariposta The definition of a binary system is that its combined centre of mass lies between them. That is not true for the Earth and moon; the moon is just 1.2% of Earth's mass but 250,000km away, so the combined centre of mass is still below the Earth's crust. However, a highly accredited theory is that the Earth and moon were formed by a collision between two earlier planets, where much of the composition of one was absorbed by the other. Another theory is that the Earth had a cloud or ring around it which formed the moon in the very early stages of the solar system. Either way, the moon and Earth are composed of the same things, quite unlike any other planets in the solar system or their moons.

Sometimes that contradiction is not so much a contradiction as a tangential view. They've done episodes where they've said there's only one moon, and then this one that says there's none, and at least one other where they say there are hundreds. They use different definitions of what a "moon" is. It's what makes this show so unutterably compelling. That, and the risque jokes:-)

    "The Earth orbits the moon as well" Id argue no. The Barycenter (the point both objects orbit) is inside the Earth. Which is basically the point both objects pivet around. So the Earth is on both sides of the Barycenter cause it envelopes it. However Pluto and Charon's Barycenter is outside both objects.

    Most moths are nocturnal and nearly all butterflies fly during the day. There are some day flying moths such as the Burnets (five and six spotted) and the Cinnabar, and there are also the clearwings (Burnet again) the tiger moth and the borers.

    No, because the common astronomical definition of a binary planet is that the center of rotation of the two bodies (called the barycenter) has to lie in the space between them, and the Earth/Moon barycenter is about 1000 miles beneath the Earth's surface. The only binary planet in our Solar System is Pluto/Charon. The barycenter also means it's not a planet, because the official IAU definition of a planet requires it to orbit the Sun, not another planet. And while there are asteroids that orbit the Sun in the same period as the Earth, they don't have a barycenter with the Earth, so those are not moons either. The elves royally screwed up this question, and it still bugs the crap out of me that they offered several "right" answers, none of which were actually right other than the answer "one" for "How many moons does the Earth have?"

    I think it's likely based on the research that's given to them, so if it's come from a country that uses metric, it'll be read out in the way it was intended. We're a metric country officially, but never fully committed in the 50-60 years since it was enacted. We still use imperial for a good number of things, especially for those of us who grew up only using it. The younger you are, the more likely you are to use metric day to day, but will still have to use imperial for travelling at the minimum.
