Moonbase Meanderings

Sometimes oxygen levels run low here at Moonbase and I start to notice all sorts of strange things in cyberspace. The mis-spelling of Century 21 for instance. I've been aware for some time that some Japanese 'museum' books mis-quote it as Cenpury 21 but the most recent example I've seen was on Ebay where a Space Glider was introduced as Sanctuary 21! Somehow it sort of works! Can you think of anymore Swordies? Made-up ones are always welcome too!

Recently in the Moon Base mailbag was an intriguing message from one Doctor from Ukraine who asked whether I simply produce space toys [!] or would I discuss real solution for future industries. Anokin went on to suggest my involvement in using lunar soils in moon cement for biulding future moon bases! The mind boggles particularly when oxygen is at such low levels. I'm expecting Wote and Toad to make a delivery any minute, hopefully before my moon mortar crumbles!

It is Friday the 13th after all!

Century 21? You mean this isn't a site to buy Suntory 21 whiskey? No wonder you haven't shipped my orders!

Nor Sanitary towels in packs of 21? What kind of scam website is this? Can I have my money back, please?
