Land Claim
In which Cousin harbors plans of cosmic scale
Good time of day, humans!
We woke up to the news that the Moon is up for grabs:
[Not the Bee] Woke astronomer warns lunar colonizers that moon is part of “indigenous sky country”

Cousin: — I like the Moon. We should announce our land claim to it.
Rat: — Recent data suggest it’s not made of cheese after all.

In multiple European languages, the phrase “fallen from the Moon” means someone who is clueless and out of touch.
Maybe try one of the planets instead. I think Mars is made of edam, that cheese with the red covering.
The moon may be a source of energy, like the sun… too bad lunacy is only interesting in very small doses. We got way too much looney toons here on earth.
