Re: Moonlight
"It is growing at an alarming rate and will devour the Earth by the year 2017" (approximately).

My theory for this unfortunate occurrence is this:
The moon is not growing, but advancing.
Due to old style television sets being gradually replaced by shinier, flatter technology, a mountain of obsolete idiot-boxes is slowly rising in a field somewhere near Milton Keynes.
What with all those big magnets and stuff inside the telly carcasses, the moon is being pulled slowly but surely towards us.
To counteract our impending doom, a large missile made entirely of meat bi-products is to be fired heavenward in a last ditch attempt to blast the rogue satellite in to cheesy pieces!
If this fails we will surely be wiped out as a species. Only mice will remain, and possibly cats. During the countless millenia following our demise, these two remaining mammalian groups will probably engage in some some serious inter-species rutting and in the process succumb to brain-bubbles caused by an allergy to dairy produce.
