Internet Trend: Lunar Cycle Secret

The Talmud states that the lunar cycle spans ‘29.5 days and 793 fractions of an hour’. In Talmudic terms, the hour is divided into 1080 parts.

793/1080 = 0.734259 hours.

0.734259/24 = 0.03059 days.

29.5 days + 0.03059 days  =  29.53059 days for the moon to travel around Earth.

NASA Research concluded that the lunar cycle is 29.530588 days, two 1/1000ths of a second short of the Talmudic figure. More advanced research in Berlin came to a figure of 29.530589 days, only one thousandth of a second short of the Talmudic figure.

The Sinai tradition of the span of the lunar cycle is thus corroborated by figures reached via advanced satellites and atomic clocks.

so where do possums come into the picture?  ???

I'm sure the blackberry is in shul so he can quickly notify the gabbai of the possum standing in the corner in the middle of shmoneh esrei without being mafsik b'dibur or startling other mispallelim .

Dunno if there are any yaks on the moon but this one is trying to get as close as he can.
