Speculative Real Estate
When John bought a lot on the moon on CraigsList, he knew it was somewhat speculative–his wife called him “stupid” and suggested he move there as soon as the divorce was final.
Bear Moon
It’s well known that the Native Americans refer to different moons, such as the harvest moon, the blood moon and the hunters’ moon. What is less well known is that the financial markets also refer to moon phases such as the bear moon when the bottom falls out of the market . . .

Carl had been surprised to get an email that directed him to a website offering 20 acre plots on the moon. It sounded interesting, but he quickly grew suspicious when follow-up emails directed him to send his down payment to a bank in Nigeria.. . . . David, Sf.G.
Cosmic Powers
Kim Jong-Un, the supreme leader of North Korea, claimed that, at his father’s death, he had been granted new Celestial Powers; he could shrink or enlarge the moon and did so every night, so that the Western Running Dog Capitalist Lackies and the world would understand his power. Jim Howie, from Amarillo, was pretty sure that he couldn’t really do that, but the moon did seem to get smaller as the night wore on. . . . . David, Sf.G.
