:eek: SERIOUSLY???!?!
Yep.
Most Moroccans consider reading 'stupid' and only do so when absolutely necessary.
Even 90% of my university students studying English have never read a book in any language, not even the Quran.
90 % of north African TV advertising money is for Morocco, because people watch a lot of television but won't read.
The other countries, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt and even Mauretania and Sudan spend more money on advertising in newspapers, magazines, leaflets and brochures, but the Moroccans just won't read.

Yep!
But perhaps not in the way you mean.
if you are ever attacked by a polar bear undressing and leaving a trail of clothes can help you escape as they are easily distracted and will stop to sniff and explore each interesting article as it goes along.
:eek: If you eat nothing but polar bear liver you will quickly die of Vitamin A poisoning!

From "The Daily Telegraph".
"Police rushed to rescue a horse in Dorking, Surrey, after a passing motorist saw it tied to a post by a tether so short that the horse couldn't reach down to chew the grass.They found that the poor animal had only one ear and was missing a back leg. It was also made of wood and was an advertisement for a local riding school."

All I can find in a short search is that from time to time Earth's gravity has captured errant asteroids which orbited us a few times then toddled on along. There's also a question of how many chunks of rock and space debris are caught in our orbit, effectively serving as tiny moons.
Can't find anything more specific for 2003. :(

It is, sort of.
But a second moon was discovered in 1994 and it's orbit established in 1997 and is called Cruithne which is 3 miles across and orbits the earth every 770 years. it was classified as a moon in 2003 but declassified a few years later.
