One day Adam McNally was on the moon when he saw a Mars Bar which he lept for. The tremendous weight of his head defied the moons low gravity launching him into the moon air like a zepplin. A moon seagul promptly shat on his recently combed afro sending him plummeting to the moons surface head first. Leaving the largest crater ever.
