I believe it was.

Since when was Santa short?

He could have said elf (in fact I bet he wish he had now!)

Let me know Thetyim if he reds you so I can slip you some green.

well it looks pretty special here in Nonthaburi...very bright and seems bigger than I remember other full moons which is subjective of course...like saying this winter is colder than last winter....and I think it is...

The moon in my sky looks 14% smaller, I was expecting to see a bit more detail on the surface.
I think its all some sort of planetary conspiracy, something like the Truman Show, the usual "moon" is broken so they had to put the reserve up and its just out the wrapper all new and bright.

I think it is only Australians that can see how big it really is

I am gonna suffer and shuffle downstairs and outside to have a look in a moment just to prove that my above statement is true!

**NickA** · 12-12-2008, 09:50 PM

Looked quite big and bright last night

**MeMock** · 12-12-2008, 10:00 PM

**DrivingForce** · 12-12-2008, 10:06 PM

Hate to disappoint you but the moons the same size as it was earlier, and the night before, and the night before that.

Memock.

Do all Australians wear bifocals as standard?

I think there was 13 this year wasn't there? 2 in October...

*edit* oh well I guess not, thought I had heard that there was 2 in October one at the beginning and one at the end but not according to the farmers almanac..

**Mid** · 13-12-2008, 12:17 AM

going the wrong way ............note the emphasis on the word full

**melvbot** · 13-12-2008, 12:21 AM

Well it varies from year to year over time. Full moon every 29 1/2 days.

**Mid** · 13-12-2008, 12:22 AM

Full moon every 29 1/2 days.

that's the trap

**Mid** · 13-12-2008, 12:25 AM
