Innerspace I.D. 4

[Timburr]

During my infant years, Mother used to make gallons of rose-hip syrup to keep the woes of winter infections at bay

We, as kids, used to scoop out their hairy seeds and grind them up to make a better itching powder than any proprietory brand

His meaning was to baffle and puzzle by going out saying something obscure.

  I like the way you put it. Struck a funny bone. 

But, theCfarm has it this time.

[Jeff]

Here is another trivia question on the same lines. What old time T.V. Character had the middle name of rosebud and they did a whole show about it?   

[Tom]

I know that one, but I ain't sayin'. 

[scgargoyle]

Little Ritchie on the Dick Van Dyck show. Whaddoo I win?

[Jeff]

You win Nothing!  Except to be know as a pretty good trivia player.  I guess Tom and I wern't the only ones that watched Dick Van Dyke.

Wasint that before color was invented when the whole world was shades of kaki.

[Tom]

What's color?

[limbrat]

Color is a tint or hue of light not absorbed by a surface so the un absorbed light is reflected off that surface and collected by the eye. Colors are thought to be seen the same by everyone, so your green is the same as mine and my green is probobly not your blue. Started in the late 1950's or early 60's by a little flying girl bug thingy that would bring color to things by tapping them with her wand. 

Is Rosebud the initals of his grandparents and other family members?

[Tom]

So........

If you turn off your TV set so that none of the light is absorbed, you get colors?

Since the light in the fridge 'supposedly' goes off when I shut the door, does that mean my fridge change colors inside since there is no light to be reflected? Does the light really even go off when I shut the door 

[limbrat]

I'm not sure of the relationship between the tv power button and color since we have not had one hooked to power since march. But it must be inportant since after the house burnt we were given three tvs.
On the fidgerator, The cat has not yet relayed any detail to me yet on his adventures in the fridge. But since he egressed post haste and has not yet tried to climb back in when i open the door i think that i can say that i dont know for sure if the light goes off. As for critters in there that scare cats maybe,maybe not.

Mr. Tom if you do not yet have color you may be able to call someone. Since im pretty sure that that little flying girl bug thingy is based some were in Central Florida.

. 


Ah, Yes. 
The little tapper with the wand.  Being that close, we should send her to DanG's place.  He could use a "tap".

"Since the light in the fridge 'supposedly' goes off when I shut the door, does that mean my fridge change colors inside since there is no light to be reflected?"

Yes, Jon, you are correct. Actually all colors would be reflected since there is no light.  When all colors combine they come out black to the eye, which is why the inside of your refigerator would look black if you were inside it when the light was off and the door closed.

You can prove this when you sqeeze your eyes shut.  No light is in there, so all light is reflected off the back of the front eyelids, so all those colors combine to be black on the front of your eyeball in the back.  Try it right now and you will see.., or maybe not see.., or something like that.   See?

To carry this a step further, if you climbed into your refrigerator and closed one eye and then the refrigerator door, the black behind the front of the closed eyelid would appear to be twice as black as the black in front of the open eyelid since that one would be getting only the black from all the light reflected off the interior surfaces of the refrigerator since the light would not be on, but the closed eye would be geting not only the black from the refrigerator but also the black from the eyelid being closed, and....   well, you see how complicated science can be.

Where's that coffeepot.
