I'll counter your question with a better question
If a werewolf was on the moon, would that mean they're a wolf ALL THE TIME??!?!???

Depends...
...on what side of the moon they're on.

This is a much better question!
I would say no, only when there was a "full earth" if you will

Well I think if you're on the light side of the moon
it's always a full earth, because that side always faces the earth because it's tidaly locked. HMMMmmm

what about during a lunar eclipse?

Er... isn't the same side of the moon still facing us.
but we are between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over it.
Or summat...

yes
blocking the moon from the light of the sun

this making it dark, and not possible to see the earth from the moon

I'm not 100% sure on this, hence the question mark in my original post

edit: my post wasn't disputing that the same side of the moon is always facing Earth. I know that's true

I'll be honest
I waded in on a subject about which I know nothing.
However, as this is taking place online I feel I should defend my point TO THE DEATH

these answers are all wrong
mine is right. It's moonlight. Moonlight is well known for making people mad (or turning them to wolves, whatever), lunacy and all that.

it gets the humours all out of kilter...

precisely
just like light from Mercury makes quicksilver/mercury and light from Mars makes Iron (I can't remember the rest).

that's because you are both obsessed with, and by now mostly made of,
houmous

I just googled earth from the moon
and looked at images, it appeared to have phases in the pics. I don't really know for sure.

I like this.

I think it's the light reflected from the moon what does it
so it depends on it being day on the moon.

If you got a non-flexible tube that is one light year long, and you pushed it at the exact same time as you shined a light through it.
What would happen first on the other end? Does that mean that it has moved faster than the speed of light? Does it mean that it's impossible for anything to be a lightyear across?
(, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 15:32, Reply)
The movement of an object is still limited by the speed of light.
What would happen is that at about the speed of light there will be a compression wave moving along the tube. Think of it as a slinky but not visible. That moves at pretty much the speed of light depending on the material and so the light and the movement of the tube will move at very similar times. Light should beat it though because there is no slowdown.
