    Chameleons are masters of camouflage, that’s why he hadn’t been seen! He blended into the background.

    Wow, that is a lot of wax! At 4 crayons a foot, there are 142,000 miles in 3,000,000,000 crayons => Almost 6 times the distance (24,900) around the world!

    We are almost as far from Mr Armstrong’s small steps as he was from the Wright Brother’s first flight.

    Neil Armstrong accidentally left the plane pieces behind on the moon, and Buzz Aldrin teased him about it for years. Believe it or Not.

    Holy Crayola! Hope they’re non-toxic.

    I’ll bet that chameleon was hiding in plain sight all this while.

    If Elon Musk was around back in those days, then Neil Armstrong would’ve driven a Tesla on the moon. Believe it or not!

    That’s the thing about chameleons, they can disappear.

    Anyone think that maybe the Chameleon hadn’t been seen for that long because it’s ability to camouflage was just that good?

    You mean an animal that uses camouflage to blend into the back ground wasn’t seen? Shocking!

    Circumference of earth 24,901.460 miles x 5280 ft per mile x 4 crayons per foot(approx) x 6 times around the world= 3,155,513,011.2 crayons; if I figure this right. There must be some machines working overtime. I actually thought it would be more crayons than that. Gives you an idea of how much a billion is.

    My grandson produces 1.3 million broken crayons per year.

    Fortunately, all systems were A-OK and Armstrong didn’t need the spare parts.

    The chameleon came out when Boy George did but blended in with his surroundings and wasn’t noticed.

    The Wright brothers were aviation genius’, no doubt, but there is pretty strong evidence that they were actually the 3rd and 4th men to “fly”. The American press, then as now, likes to create “heroes” to sell newspapers. Similar to Columbus “discovering” America, when he actually never got closer than the Bahamas, and there were already thousands/million of people here before him, both living and visiting.

    Maybe crayons are the reason the camo failed.

    Crayons around the planet: Believe it.

    Chameleon re-appearance: Or not!

    Neil taking plane parts to the moon: Believe it.

    May the board be with you. (Like maybe some nice knotty pine.)

    And there’s still A LOT of “people” that don’t believe we’ve been to the moon. Or that the world is round.

    In the 50s, I remember there was a Crayola shade called “flesh”.
