It seems there really is water on the moon, a major discovery that, like every answer to a great question, trails thousands of unanswered questions in its wake.
Let us review the facts, or, at least, the facts as I understand them from my in-depth academic perusal of the headline crawl across the bottom of the screen on CNN.

I didn’t find it LOL, or even particularly funny. Perhaps it’s just because I get enough of that from the users at work every day.

If it makes you feel any better, I thought that sentence was funny, too. I was going to post some smart a$$ sarcastic remark, but now I won’t because I don’t want to upset anyone (cough*mvpel*cough.)
You should read the fine article.
"Then last month, , NASA sent up the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite which crashed into the moon at 9600 km/h – I think it was deliberate – and confirmed there's at least 12 bucketsful (45 litres by my reckoning) of water around the south pole of the moon."
Why does it seem so? Is it because the scientist told us so? Okay if you want to believe that but you now know how scientist lie when their funding depends on it.

I guess that would be the only way to be sure..........
