It's a bit of a standing joke in astronomy circles Nordo. That email circulated last year as well. And each year more and more of the realistic bits (if there ever were any) get pruned away.
JFYI the full moon is about 29' (arc min) wide, not 25" (arc sec), about 1/60 the size, so you see they can't even get that right
But if you want a bit of trivia to impress your wife try this.
Ask her how big is the full moon? How big an object held at arms length would you need to cover it? Then get her to hold up her right hand, extend her pinkie and use that to cover the moon. Yep that's right. Your index finger covers about a degree and your pinkie about half that. That should impress her.
Then get her to check at different times of the night. That big newly risen full moon is exactly the same size as when it is straight over head. True.
