Q: Given the moon has 1/6th of the Earth's gravity, if a bird could live on the moon, would it be able to fly faster, slower or at the same speed as on earth? A: If a bird could live on the moon, it wouldn't be able to fly at all because the low gravity means the moon has no atmosphere to support the bird's wings! Researchers in Tsu, Japan, have created a robot sommelier that samples wine and provides an appraisal of its makeup and taste! The grave of Nadine Earles (1929-1933), in Lanett, Ala., is covered by a brick dollhouse with a life-sized doll, a tea set and toys inside!
