This really is like playing the scavanger game, though playing "Whack-A-Troll" sounds like a lot of fun too.
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

On the 20th July 1969 man accomplished its highest achievement in space exploration. Landing a manned craft on the surface of the moon. The first mission to the moon to take Humans to another spatial body was Apollo 11, which was manned by three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins. At roughly 4:14pm Apollo 11 touched down on the surface of the Moon, landing in an area called “Mere Tranquilitatis - The Sea Of Tranquillity.” On landing Neil Armstrong contacted mission control with the message “The Eagle has landed.” After 2 hours on the surface of the moon, Neil Armstrong emerged from the space craft to set foot on the moon for the first time, this was when those famous words were said:
“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Neil Armstrong is only 1 out of 12 other astronauts who have shared this unique experience. At all times there was another astronaut who stayed in the Lunar Module throughout the duration of each mission.
Before any sort of experiments were carried out Neil Armstrong deployed the American National Flag on the surface and unveiled a plaque on the Lunar Module.
“Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon. July 1969 AD We Came In Peace for All Mankind.”
After various experiments were carried out, the Astronauts had spent a total of 21.6 hours on the surface of the moon and had some gathered 20 kilograms of material, to take back to Earth for study. It was on July 24 that the three men re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and landed back on Earth.

More Kerry Car Troubles: 'Purple Heart 3' Vanity Plate, Outsourced
SUV
Unlike most combat vets, Sen. John Kerry has never been shy over
bragging about his wartime experience. But even we were surprised to
hear that his 1985 Dodge is plastered with vanity plates that read
"Purple Heart 3."
The Boston Herald's Howie Carr has done some research into the Kerry
family's fleet of vehicles and has turned up some interesting
details.
Apart from the Purple Heart plates, Carr has discovered that Kerry's
wife, Teresa, is hiding another family SUV at their estate on
Nantucket, in addition to the Chevy Surburban the Heinz Kerrys keep
at their Idaho mansion.
And for this one, the would-be first family decided to outsource.
The plates on the British-made 1997 Land Rover Defender driven by
the woman who wants to be America's next first lady read MOZMBQ - a
reminder of the country Heinz Kerry recently lamented she wished
she'd never left.
"I can't believe my family left Africa and came to this country,"
she griped to the New York Post's Cindy Adams two weeks ago. "I
can't believe I ever even married an American."
The plates on Teresa's 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee read HZ 57, a
reference to the company whose management has spent the last few
months sending out letters to the media insisting it has nothing to
do with her.
And it turns out there's another outsourced car in the Kerry
family's vehicular portfolio. The stepson of the Democrats'
man-of-the-people candidate tools around in a nifty 2002 Porsche
911.
Thank you so much for the kind wishes and beautiful graphic! I wish you all the same good things!
