What wrong with the moon tonight?

From Alcopedia™;

1 ... Why the Moon appears to be red when it's low on the horizon.

2 ... Why the days go quicker when you're busy :

 

The Moon and Earth, as well as our complete solar system are all part of a gigantic orrery which happens to work on 240 volt electricity.

 

In total, the Earth produces and uses, around 493,000,000,000,000,000 (493 quadrillion, for people who can't count) BTUs of energy per year (check it out elsewhere if you don't believe me).

Half of this energy is used for powering the orrery, of which the remains are used up mainly by the USA for stunning cattle and turning into beefburgers, a large amount by Area 51 and a Half™ (particularly whilst manufacturing the new Stanedge Pole by turning down a 53 foot larch tree on an industrial style 3-phase wood turning lathe! ), with the rest going to other countries for making shoes and stuff.

 

Of course, the money to pay for all the electricity (BTUs) has to be paid for ... mainly by the people who make the shoes and stuff, hence where most of the tax money goes.

Collected at source, it is fed into a gigantic coin operated electricity meter to feed the massive orrery motors. The harder people work, the more money goes into the slot, and the faster time appears to pass, due to the Earth motors spinning at a higher rate toward the Sun (in reality, an Edison screw, 760 gigawatt daylight bulb).

Obviously, at Christmas time, people have less money to spend on orrery electricity due to expensive present buying, resulting in shorter daylight and longer days with practically total darkness in some parts.

 

The Moon, although much smaller than the Earth, still requires quite a bit of power to lift it above the horizon.

Although built of an ultra lightweight 'carbon nanotube/cheese' composite material, cost cutting measures have been taken, ensuring only the visible side of the Moon is lit, and in varying degrees throughout the month too, saving around 70% of wasted energy. There are plans afoot to install Micro-Hydro systems on the Moon itself to power it, now that water has been discovered there, although a power cable long/strong enough to power such a system is yet to be developed.

 

On top of this, a red warning light has been installed in the Sea of Tranquility which makes the Moon appear red when there's just not enough power for it to go about it's diurnal mechanical motions of going above the horizon.

And you've 'Norfolking' chance of them coming back on until Sir Alcoblog stops typing.

Teeheehee, the power cable barely reaches from area 51 and a half to Norfolk to start with.

It's nothing to do with me!

I've been stuck in South Wales for the past fortnight, practically having to walk all the way back, due to the Alcocopter™ suddenly becoming scared of dragons and taking refuge in a daffodil bog near Abergavenny.

 

Also, although I contribute a lot to science, I have not been knighted as yet. Take no notice of Mr.McWoods (he's Scottish you know).

Can't you prop it up with the Stanedge poley thingy?

No ... the cheese composite will attract flies and annoy the Hathersaginians and Lodgemoorites when it goes up in a week or so.
