I was faced with a variant of the “if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it (or blog it)” puzzle tonight when my younger son came inside very upset because he had to draw a picture of the moon but it was too overcast to see it. To draw a picture of the moon you have to see it (those of you with small children know what I am talking about as Dave Barry would advise), fortunately some googling turned up the Virtual Reality Moon Phase Pictures (courtesy of the US Naval Observatory).

I heard another variation from a momentarily hen-pecked husband, to wit:
“If a man says something and there is no woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?”

When does the moon look like a great pizza pie?
Erin had to draw the moon at fixed intervals so that she could chart its waxing and waning for school; she too ran into the issue of an overcast night. We happened to have a calender with the phases of the moon on it and used that as a guide.
