The Sky and The Moon Explained Tim Price wrote: Am I correct to assume that the sky is blue because it reflects the colour of the sea?? Mr Price You are correct to assume that the sky is a big mirror reflecting the sea. This mirror is made of extremely highly polished steel, and forms a complete external globe, supported by enormous stilts hidden somewhere in the Pacific. There are small holes in the steel globe through which at night the blinding light of the mysterious beyond is seen to shine. These are known as stars. This is why it is foolhardy and headstrong for man ever to dream of conquering the skies or the heavens, for at an altitude of approximately 2000 feet, he will crash into the mirror. The sun is a small yet infinitely strong goose, with its tail aflame in an eternally burning inferno, flying around the earth just under the surface of the mirror for all eternity. The moon is, as you know, a large piece of cheese carried by a horde of levitating mice. Fear the scientists who will lead us to our doom. We must stamp out their heretical activities now, before it is too late. Ready the stakes, roll out the kerosene, for tonight we barbecue the unbelievers!
