If you belieeeeeeeeve they put a man on the moon, man on the moooooooon! sang Michael Stipe, as he thoughtfully ruminated the most interesting news story of 1969.
What Mike failed to consider, however, was that thanks to the wonders of anthropomorphisation, there's been a man on the moon since way before Neil Armstong. That's not to say things haven't changed since the early years, though. These days he's got a wife. Not to mention a pet rabbit.
Yes, my final piece of anthropomorphic inspiration comes courtesy of The Moon - or, more specifically, the Mighty Boosh, with their unique take on what our lunar companion would say if he could talk (as demonstrated in their live shows last year). Classic.
Now go take some humanity and put it in a strange place. It's fun. And, if you do it right, people might just love you for it.
