Why is the moon made of cheese?

Question

I like cheese...

Answer 1

You know, ACTUALLY that is a pretty good question.

I'm just going to take a guess.

All small children LOVE cheese.  They probably chose cheese because that would be appealing to kids.

A LONG time ago, when that fable was written, cheese was expensive.  It was a luxury for the poor in Europe.  It might be because that would be like telling our children today it is made of silver or gold.

I'm just guessing.  I really don't know but it sounds good.  Logical, atleast.

Answer 2

from your avatar you must be a child, what stories they tell these kids, it is terrible, like saying the sun is made of honey!!!!

Answer 3

its kind of not made of cheese  but if it was i think a lot of people would try to reach it before it melts.

Answer 4

To go with the crackers on Jupiter.

Answer 5

because people are gullible

Answer 6

Because when the cow jumped over it its udder hit the moon and all the milk that squirted out became cheese.

Answer 7

When the moon hit's your eye like a big a pizza pie....... thats amore.............

Answer 8

Of course it is. The real question is what kind of cheese it is.

Answer 9

What else would you have it made out of. I mean come on if it was made from meat it would be attacked by all the aliens on their way here. If it was made from grapes it  would be too dark for us to see. Lord how can you even fathom id being made from anything else but cheese.It has to be cheese since this is the only  material god had too  much of when  he made the moon and he had to make the moon so that we can have waves at the beach. I mean think of it what would you do at the beach if it had no waves?

Answer 10

It's not and cheese will make you fat eventually

Answer 11

Becuz cheese is the last element synthesized in a star before it explodes in a supernova. The solar system formed from the debris of a supernova.

Answer 12

OMG Molly! A sencible answer?! lol

I think it's made of cheese because it looks like cheese and small kiddies like cheese (and all dairy for that matter) and their mothers and fathers tell them it's made of cheese because it looks like cheese and kiddies like it :D

But let me burst your safe bubble of dreams with a sharp piece of reality. I'm very sorry to do that but... *pop*

Here you go, now look, see? It's not made of cheese, it's actually grey and rocky and looks yellow only because sun reflects on it. Shame really I would love planets to be made of food, imagine how fast would the technology develop? By the 1990s we would've been eating Alpha Centauri and it's system planets!!!

Answer 13

because a big ball of poo wouldn't glow as nicely

Answer 14

during the big bang there was a element reaction between carbon and zinc, the intence amount of pressure that was forced upon these too elements caused an interesting and amazing phenomenon called "cheesening"

this cheesening phenomenon forced cheese particals to be projected across the cosmos for millions of light years.

the largest knowen cheese planet is 40 million light years from earth and is called "cheddarallas" which is where we now get cheedar cheese from, however the cheese that our moon is made from is swiss cheese, this was the result of our moon passing through a belt of space rock that caused the swiss cheese style holes in our moon.

Answer 15

We all know the moon isn't made of green cheese.  But if it were made of BBQ spareribs would you eat it then?  I know I would.  Heck, I'd even go back for seconds.

Answer 26

Alien space cows were grazing on Venus when one day an asteroid hit that planet and sent all their milk hurtling into the galaxy where the cosmic winds whipped into a giant cheese ball that got sucked into the earth's orbit and continud to rotate around it day and night for eternity.

Answer 29

Even though the moon is not made of cheese (thank goodness, as it might have rotted or gone moldy long ago or caused a big stink as it would not fit in the refrigerator), it does appear to look like it does.  Check out the site below.  I like cheese too, perhaps that is one reason the rumor got started, from so many people liking cheese!
