I can’t wait until the next time I’m in the rain and wish to remain dry. I’m just going to stand still and see what happens.

I’m about 50% wetter right now.
In Japan, the traffic light that tells you to go is considered to be blue (ao). Grass and trees are green (midori), and the sky is blue (ao), but they will also use “blue” to discribe green leaves and unripe fruit. Bizarre.
The same applies to Wales, funnily enough. The word ‘glas’ means either blue or green, although the use meaning ‘green’ is now becoming archaic.
Then again, in this country we consider this woman to be “black”, so we all have our cultural WTFs.

If you ask a colorblind person, the green light is white. Also, some colorblind people live 28 years before they figure out that peanut butter and refried beans are brown, not green…

Beta-carotene.

Right. More contact surface area although I feel the difference is negligible.

Seems to be in terms of perceived life at least in some contexts. The monsters in Ao Oni are clearly purple. Maybe the Japanese are colorblind within divergence of a few nanometers.

LOL I could see where that may be confusing to an alien, but it’s not tough to grasp.

I’m going to watch as all the FOOLS are running to get out of the rain to stay dry. Laughing in my head knowing how much more wet they’re getting than me.
Really useful tip. Thanks. [/quote]
Please confirm that this is in fact a higher level of trolling and you are not in fact THAT DUMB.
The ionosphere is at the base of the magnetosphere. Science rules.

I’m assuming you meant “magnetosphere”.
Magenta, on the other hand, is purplish-pink. Magenta - Wikipedia

I finally learned what a Unicorn is from the Urban Dictionary. Along with “unicorning”.

Explain yourselves. Theoretically this is impossible.

I don’t know if it’s actually true or not. I didn’t see that episode. If it is true, however, then I’ll know why.

It has been years since I saw that one. It has to do with running forwards into raindrops rather than them just falling on top of you. I think there was decided upon some optimal speed at which to flee the rain, but I don’t remember what the verdict was. The best option I believe may have been walking or something.
