Merv - you sure the headgear was not 'a la luna' Ladin ! We do credit the moon with more than just ocean tides ! Our planet lost seventy percent of it's mass when struck by a meteor: the explosion equalled the force of three atomic devices for each living person on Earth today ! Some of the floating debris coalesced in space to form the moon. The sun exerts a far greater gravitational pull on the oceans than the moon. Being closer, the lunar force countervails, with resulting tidal thrusts being lowered by eighty percent. Cousteau would have enjoyed a world of just fish and mermaids - never mind, Mervyn, never mind ! Fred - check the ceiling at Mae de Deus, tomorrow's service, distinct waterline frescoes from the pre-accident tidal strokes: who says we need Venantius ! eric.
