The proper name of our sole natural satellite is "the Moon" and therefore...it should be capitalized. The 60-odd natural satellites of other planets, however are called "moons" (in lower case) because each has been given a proper name, such as Deimos, Amalthea, Hyperion, Miranda, Larissa, or Charon.

The word "snorkel" comes from the German word "schnoerkel", which was a tube used by German submarine crews in WW2. The subs used an electric battery when traveling underwater, which had to be recharged using diesel engines, which needed air to run. To avoid the hazard of surfacing to run the engines, the Germans used the schnoerkel to feed air from the surface into the engines.

Ann Coulter (a conservative ***** who is on CNN a lot, has written several books, does a newspaper column, etc.) was born in either 1961 or 1963, depending on whether you believe her old Conneticut driver's license or her more recent DC license. She claims that the DC license is correct. Ironically, if the DC license is correct, she registered to vote when she was 16. That would be voter fraud. Either way, she lied on at least one of her licenses. Now, a driver's license is a Federal ID. Lying on such a document is a federal offense under the Patriot act (which she supports, btw). Which means that she could be locked up indefinitely, without being allowed to talk to a lawyer or a judge. Funny, eh?
