Question: should this article place so much emphasis on the Tolkien version or should that have a separate article? Lee M 00:25, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Tolkien's version moved to The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late. Ausir 22:41, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)



So does anyone know just what scandal it is supposed to be satirizing?82.192.146.25 23:49, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I have modified the layout of the three pictures so that the edit links don't stick together near the bottom of the page. --Iiaiialover 10:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

{{ trivia |date=October 2007}}
In Steve Allen's routine "The Question Man," in which an answer would be posed and Allen would say the question (as on Jeopardy!,) an answer was given, "The cow jumped over the moon." Allen, as The Question Man, replied, "what happened when lightning struck the milking machine?"


Please do explain that; what is funny about lightning, in this context??

This should reference the diddle article. Further, that article needs much more; there are other definitions. Then, there's doodle.

Thank You,

Here's my take on this limerick: The moon represents the fundamental flaw. Here mankind designed the wheel using the full moon as a reference, but the moon is not a dish, it is a sphere. I can also imply the cat has a master who plays or IS the fiddle The BOVINE jumped over this whole concept As for the DOG well the dogs of society which exist to this day (the exceedingly rich) I also think the Pied Piper is related to this limerick just a thought not stating fact at all —Preceding unsigned comment added by Serfwrite (talk • contribs) 03:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
