Oh gosh, these different metrics around the world - I can't keep up with 'em! Guess I'm just old-fashioned, I can only think in 28-pound corgis!

It's approximately 35.71 adult, male corgis, provided they are not overweight. Also, Disapproving Corgis may add gravitas to the equation and therefore you would need fewer of them.

I think flying geese are UFOs more than people imagine. I remember looking up one evening and seeing these shimmering, silvery things overhead, flying fast. Fortunately I was able to watch them until they resolved into a flock of geese. Geese and other water birds have a substance on their feathers that helps shed water, and I think it also reflects light very well, with a silvery or metallic appearance.

My father worked for a while at a planetarium and later led star walks. I used to go with him. They're some of the most enduring memories of my childhood. So I second this idea.

Reply to hi, my mom keeps saying the moon is upsidedown. by ilysmmate
There was a short-lived conspiracy theory in 2018 about the moon having 'moved' or the earth having 'moved' due to a video posted of the moon that seemed to show it being occluded by the earth horizontally instead of vertically. It was explained at the time by a number of people (I don't remember the explanation, but it had to do with where the moon & earth were in their orbits.) I wonder if she came across the old video?
