Q: Is the Moon made of cheese?

A: Most people don't think the moon is made of cheese, but sometimes it certainly looks like a wheel of cheese that's blue with mold. It looks full of holes, like Swiss cheese, and it sometimes has a greenish/bluish color, like Gorgonzola cheese. The holes are actually craters caused by asteroids, which are big chunks of rock and ice that fly through space. The greenish/bluish color is caused by the Earth's shadow across the moon's surface.

Q: Do Mice really like cheese?

A: The makers of Tom and Jerry got it wrong - mice don't like cheese. According to researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University, the rodents prefer foods with a lot of sugar, chocolate for example. A mouse's natural diet is primarily made up of grains and fruit, both high in sugar. Dr David Holmes, a senior psychologist at the university, said: "Mice respond to the smell, texture and taste of food. Cheese is something that would not be available to them in their natural environment and so not something they would respond to." (Source http://findarticles.com)
