To continue the linguistics derail, my favorite language for that is Icelandic which is really traditional. There's a language institute that is responsible for figuring out a word whenever a new thing needs it, and they go back through icelandic and norse lore to find something suitable. Loanwords aren't used. So when "computer" came along it was translated into "tala völva" ("numbers oracle"), and then shortened to "tölva".

Of course what the institute says and what people actually use are some times different things. So for instance a kiwi fruit translates into "lođber" ("hairy berry"), but everyone just calls it a kiwi anyway.

"Thing" is too non-specific. Think more along the lines of tool or device.
And for the first time they called it "a bomb" instead of "a device"...

In a science/astronomy video I saw a while ago it was mentioned that the earth and moon could be argued to be orbiting each other, so technically not incorrect I guess?
Bodies are usually only said to orbit eachother if the barycenter is above the surface of the larger body. The Moon does cause Earth to wobble a bit (which we mainly notice as ocean tides) but the barycenter is still within Earth's radius.

Pluto and Charon orbit each other though, and in fact the Sun and Jupiter does too.

"Sunday Sport is a British tabloid newspaper, published by Sport Newspapers, which was established in 1986. It prints plainly ludicrous stories, such as "London Bus Found Frozen In Antarctic Ice", or "World War II Bomber Found On The Moon". Defenders of the paper pointed out that it was not intended to be taken seriously. Its controversial content also includes a high quotient of softcore female nudity and extensive advertising for sexual services."
In other words it's just like all the other British tabloids?
