Fine, then.
If that's the case, I suppose that lunar orbital dynamics are not
entirely off topic, so you may enjoy reading about "3753 Cruithne",
Earth's "second moon", with its very unusual compound "kidney
bean"/"horseshoe" orbit with a period around the "kidney bean" of
about 380 days, while that orbit follows the "horseshoe" pattern
around the earth every 770 years or so:

Furthermore, I hope that an extremely funny couple of clips from the
British "humour programme" QI that mention Cruithne (and teach us
that it is pronounced "Crew-in-yay" or some such) would not meet
with the kind of rage that accompanies, say, a review of recently
declassified bits of the National Intelligence Estimate of 2002 or
further info about 9/11:
