EARTH
A Mennonite man will be circling the Earth for the next two months, causing what scientists are calling a “mini-moon.”
“It’s not as large as the moon we usually see,” said Neil DeGrasse Tyson, “but it’s enough to make everyone uncomfortable.”
The mini-moon is being attributed to local plumber Bob Wiens of the Rosenort area.
“Whenever he bends over to fix a pipe or reach for some zoat, we’re always at risk of a mini-moon,” said DeGrasse Tyson. “That man really needs a new pair of suspenders.”
The mini-moon had caused quite the excitement in Rosenort where residents are already gazing into the sky hoping they can catch a glimpse of their local celebrity.
“We had the ladies Bible study staring into the night sky all evening,” said Diane Heppner. “But some say the mini-moon is too small to see with the naked eye.”
Pastor Ron plans to have telescopes installed by next Sunday.
“We’ve all been mini-mooned by Bob Wiens before,” said Pastor Ron, “but now he’s sharing his mooning talents with the world.”
For now, star gazers are content to see the Bob Wiens mini-moon, although some are hoping eventually they’ll get to see a full moon.
