Yes, I saw that you quoted a search result, and I didn't re-quote it because a) the "quote" tool didn't capture it and b) I didn't feel like copy-pasting it since anyone reading can simply scroll up two posts and read it themselves. I responded to it because you posted the search result with no indication that you took it at anything but face value.

Vman455 — Okay, it just seemed odd.

Analyses of the Moon's time-variable rotations [!] indicate that the core is at least partly molten.

Does it stutter?
Maybe stutter isn't the word for 'speeds up and slows down'.

Planets orbit stars. Moons orbit planets.

Pluto has 5 moons, so it must be a (dwarf) planet.

Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum.

And so it is with moons?
