Comment on What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?

I’ve heard people describe the asteroid Cruithne as earth’s second moon (the chat show QI did a bit on it, and it’s in a Steven Baxter novel). But I think that’s kind of a misleading description - it orbits the sun not the earth, just in a way that regularly syncs up with the earth’s orbit.
