Geophysicists Edward Schreiber and Orson L. Anderson carefully compared the sound-conducting properties of two lunar rocks with those of a wide assortment of cheeses. The result: Wisconsin muenster conveyed sound slightly faster than one moon rock; Norwegian goat cheese responded almost precisely like the other rock...
