Welcome, those that dare, to Professor Black's Kung Fu Lounge. I am your guide here, the self-same Professor.

Learn now of the moon. Let the Professor guide you - knowledge is power.

Moon Fact No.1
Contrary to popular belief, the moon is not made of green cheese. Neither is it
made of Emmental or Edam - in fact it is made of Teflon.

Moon Fact No.2
Because there are no televisions on the moon, the people of the moon must find
their own entertainment. Apart from the obvious ones like Moon Tennis, Moon Squash and Dizzy Moon Ducks, they play a game called nashagash which is like a cross between badminton and strip poker.

Moon Fact No.3
The only predator on the moon is the fearsome Moon Chicken. Standing twelve metreshigh with a razor sharp beak, the people of the moon defend themselves with moon-spears (made of Aluminium and tipped with a deadly poison).
The skalp of a moon chicken can fetch as much as 3 groats at auction.

Moon Fact No.4
The currency on the Moon is Moonongs. A Moonong is egg shaped with a carving of the king of the moon on one side and the value on the other.
A Moonong is worth approximately 5 Euros.

Moon Fact No.5
Interestingly enough, in 1909 Messrs Norice McWhirter and Roy Castle once tried to build a theme park on the moon. It was tentatively called "Mooniversal Studios" but unfortunately the late great trumpeteer and his record judging chum did not think the enterprise through.
Not only did the pair not put up the required electric fence to ward off the deadly moon chickens but they also made the cardinal sin of building the entire complex out of candy floss.
Due to the low gravity on the moon as soon as the Moon Chickens swarmed in and attacked, the tethers were gnawed and the whole of Mooniversal Studios floated off into space.
Ironically in the low gravity Mr Castle performed the fastest series of tap dancing
ever witnessed but Norris was eating some moon cake and looking the other way so it didn't count.

Moon Fact No.6
You would think it would be difficult to live on the moon but it isn't - there is a
popular myth that the is no atmosphere but it is untrue - the moon atmosphere is
breathable and it tastes a bit like polos. This is handy because if you have spent
the previous night on the moon-lash you can freshen your breath by going for a
swift bracing walk in the morning.
Moon people laugh at earth people thinking them to be ingrates. To illustrate their superiority they sing the Moon National Anthem every day for brunch:
"A-A-A-Atmosphere! I love a party with a happy atmosphere"
Wow!

Moon Fact No.7
The Moon's only defence against the threat of alien invasion is a ninja training
academy run by Grand Master Pat Sharp. They are a formidable opponent that can only be defeated by throwing moon eggs at them*

*Moon eggs are approximately 2 metres in diameter

Moon Fact No.8
In a bizarre twist of fate, in 1989 a spacecraft containing four monkeys crash
landed on the moon. One of these monkeys was elected King Monkey, high ruler of the moon some fifteen minutes later when his poise and diction won the day. He stood tall, waved a banana in the air and cried "Ook".
In an attempt to ensure he is all powerful all other monkeys that have been born
since are dressed in tin foil and forced to become butlers for the people of the
moon.
King Monkey is on the front and back of the 50 Moonong piece.
