Did you know that:

 

Gustav III of Sweden made coffee a death sentence.

King Gustav III of Sweden (1746-1792) had some peculiar ideas about coffee, and even more peculiar ways of testing his ideas.

 

 

Since the early 1700s coffee had been imported into Sweden, but its benefits were hotly debated. Some people thought it to be poisonous and of satanic origin; others, including some prominent scientists, touted its health benefits. King Gustav was in the former group. To prove the theory that coffee was deadly, Gustav arranged for a clinical trial. He found two identical twins who were convicted of murder; he sentenced one to drink three pots of coffee every day, and the other to drink the same amount of tea. The trial would continue until one of them died. Gustav appointed two of his court physicians to monitor the men, sure that the coffee drinker would be the first to keel over.

 

The experiment didn’t come out the way Gustav expected. The doctors were the first to die. The next to die was King Gustav himself, who was murdered at a masked ball in 1792. Finally, after many years, one of the murderers did die…at the age of 83.

 

It was the tea drinker. (HA!)

Obvious statement is obvious

Did you know that George Bush disapproves of ponies?

Doesn't he have a ranch?

Ranchers raise horses, not those deformed... creatures.

Back on topic with this

 

Did you know that Utah almost couldn't join the United States of America because of it's large Mormon population. American's didn't (and still don't) like the idea of a religon allowing you to marry numerous people.

I'm sorry I don't know what came over me... I think... I think i need to watch some more my little pony...Relearn...love...toleration...

Did you know that a popular souvenir is the road sign for moose-crossing. Every year a huge number of these signs are stolen from Swedish roads.

Did you know that Atlanta (which is about a stone's throw away from my city) was the only city in North America to be destroyed by fire as an act of war?

The 1948 Tucker Torpedo was designed with three headlights, including one in the center of the grill.

 

It is a fully driveable car in the videogame: L.A Noir

 

The only Covertible of the model sold for a hefty $1,400,000

Fine, I'll go along with your Unicorn bestrackled postages, Alpha.

 

To state that any variation of "Rainbow" being a color is to state the obvious: White light contains all colors simultaneously.

 

Subtractive color means that combinations of three primary colors absorb unwanted color wavelengths and reflect others in order to produce desired color outputs. This is usually observed in CMYK outputs on Printers and Plotting Machines, which combine Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key black.

 

Additive color means that the combinations of three primary colors generate different reflections, and the lack of input of one or more color additives decrease the reflected spectra. This is usually observed in RGB outputs on Monitors, Televisions, and most standard image encoding methods, which combine Red, Green and Blue.

 

By this line of logic, CMYK can generate Black as a color, but RGB cannot, as making black consists of generating less light instead of making a color combination.

 

Color is observed in variations of the wavelength of light hitting your eye. Depending on how narrow or how wide the wavelength is what creates the color.

Although Reds appear broader in distinction than other colors, the human eye is most responsive to greens.

Wavelengths narrower than Violet are called Ultraviolet, and longer than Red are called Infrared.

 

A single Nanometer is one billionth of a meter- about 1/100,000th of the size of a human hair, and about equal to the diameter of a helium atom.

Wavelengths narrower than Violet are called Ultraviolet, and longer than Red are called Infrared.

Gamma and X rays have smaller wavelengths than visible light and aren't usually refered too as Ultraviolet (even though the name could be applicable)
