LaPapago was granted the exclusive opportunity to interview Dr. Petrosilio Stanfoĉapelo, the historian and sociologist who has become famous for his radical theories. We met the “prematurely retired” professor in his home study—a tastefully furnished, if somewhat cluttered, room filled with books in every possible language and from every conceivable era.
“Mr. Stanfoĉapelo, you’re known for being a true generalist in the humanities and always have strong opinions on a wide variety of topics. What’s on your mind these days?”
“The moon.”
“Could you elaborate a bit? What about the moon?”
“It’s not what we thought it was; recent analyses of the light spectrum it reflects speak for themselves. The moon is made of cheese!”
“Excuse me?
“Yes, you heard right—cheese! I know it’s an old joke, but what better way is there to successfully hide the truth than to turn it into a ridiculous fairy tale—an everyday banality?"
“But why would anyone try to hide that?”
“As always, that can be answered with a simple counterquestion: Cui bono?”
(There is a moment of thoughtful silence)
“The cheese industry is obviously behind this. If a discovery like that were known, it would ruin their business.”
“But even if that were the case, the cheese would still have to get here first in order to ruin the business.”
“That shouldn’t be a problem. Traveling to the moon and back has long been an everyday occurrence. That’s common knowledge. Just think of the Thallers and their moon base.”
“The Thallers have a moon base?”
“Well, they had to go somewhere after Luthori pulverized their mobile undersea fortress.”
“So you believe Thaller Fortress actually existed?”
“Of course. I don’t want to give too much away, since I’ll be publishing a comprehensive book on this topic next year, but I can tell you this much: Thaller Fortress must have existed; otherwise, there’s simply no way to explain the terrifying speed at which this scourge of a dynasty spread across all of Terra at the height of its power. You really don’t seem to be familiar with the subject?”
“To be honest… no.”
The interview ended abruptly at this point, as Professor Stanfoĉapelo received an unexpected visitor whom he unfortunately could not keep waiting. We are eager to see what revelations his upcoming book will hold. Stanfoĉapelo had also mentioned that he had only recently discovered social media. Now that he is retired, he is considering using this platform as well to share his ideas.
