The lighter look at the news

 

Last Friday, I was excited that NASA were excited to tell us that we would be excited about the exciting news that they were going to share with us, regarding the Moon.

So exciting was this piece of news, that they made us wait a whole weekend before sharing it (lest we faint with excitement from lack of preparedness).

Well, I spent the whole weekend coming up with exciting possibilities - Perhaps Richard Branson was secretly quarantining on the moon.

Perhaps a cow had been sighted jumping over the moon (while here on Earth, a dish was seen running  away with a spoon).

Perhaps a certain President was to be given a one way ticket to the moon, in a few days.

Perhaps Kim Kardashian was planning to have a 40th Birthday bash on the Moon. Her husband Ye (the miracle man), could easily make that happen.

Finally, the weekend passed and we were told the exciting news -  they had discovered water on the surface of the Moon.

I can't say that I was over the moon with the news, simply because we were previously told that there was water on Mars. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that they should've started with the Moon and then moved further afield.

Please don't ask me how they made that discovery - I don't have anymore weekends to spare.

Melania Trump recently spoke at one of her husband's rallies, about keeping safe during this pandemic. The huddled, mask-less crowd cheered widely at the end, while irony lost its will to live.

To give credit where credit is due, Mel was ahead of her time when it came to hand holding.                                                                          

At another rally (they are coming fast and very furious) we were taken back a few decades, as the Stepford wives in the crowd received a special message from their leader.

Disappointing as it is that Kim Kardashian did not celebrate her birthday on the Moon, she did however post a couple of tweets about her 40th birthday celebrations. The first was:

I think after two weeks of tests, the bigger surprise would be if there wasn't a surprise at the end of it. She also tweeted:

Don't you love it when someone tweets their humbleness after telling us how fabulous their lives are?

Finally, on this Halloween day, here's  Pumpkinhead talking about his distant relative.

Until next time, take care, stay safe and even though it can be a challenge, try and keep it light.
