The dark side of the moon has always been dark and will always be dark, but whether the dark side is also the far side changes with time - once per lunar month.

... the far side is also referred to as the dark side of the Moon, originally in the sense of "unknown" rather than lack of light.

Ok. It's only a joking referral to the album from Pink Floyd that was on the Top One Hundred list for how many years? Ok?

Does everybody get it? You there in the corner? You ok with that?
