How many men have to contribute every single day to get enough volume to provide enough substenance?! Unless she been collecting it for a month beforehand...

Whatever the case may be, it is either a myth or just plain disturbing...

Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth. However, it is sufficiently large that a maniac will have to throw the rock at a velocity of 2 km/s. Not to mention that orbital mechanics is sufficiently counter-intuitive, to make calculation of a trajectory quite non-trivial.

Long story short, that maniac would need to involve quite a significant amount of other similarly-minded maniacs to be successful. And considering how Earth would be a source of quite a few necessities of living on the Moon, that is rather unlikely.

In summary, it is unfortunately not (yet) the time for panicking and end-of-the-world sex. You are better off worrying about more mundane catastrophes: Like slipping in a shower.

Good to see that I am not alone in my admiration of Advantage series. Love the keyboard, except for those horrible rubber function keys.

If you are not a touch-typist do not get an Advantage keyboard. You will suffer gretly as that keyboard angles and layout will make your hunt-and-peck extraordinarily more difficult. Also Advantage is quite an expensive options with $300 pricetag. Adaptation period is at least two weeks as well. Also it is only manufactured in the USA and Kinesis does not provide shipping to other countries, so you may pay even more to get one from a reseller (Here in Australia I paid $400 for mine).

I would reccomend Microsoft Natural series if you want a split layout without the extremety and not breaking the budget.

All that negativity being said, once you get comfortable with Kinesis Advantage, it is just a pure joy to use (Except function keys :-P). If you have RSI definitely give it a try, pricetag be damned. If you possibly can, go to a shop that stocks it and try it out. You will either fall madly in love with it or decide it is too extreme.
