The ocean is blue... the sky reflects the ocean... the sky isn't actually any color at all.  *Watches bubble burst*

From: Martin Magpie nuf said Typical FIC conspiracy to force the rest of us to accept the sky as whatever color they tell the Lindens to make it.

Damn those dominant blue frequency reflections between 500 millimicrons and 470 millimicrons wavelength.

From: Billy Grace The ocean is blue... the sky reflects the ocean... the sky isn't actually any color at all. *Watches bubble burst* Actually, what's happening is that that the oxygen atoms that make up the majority of the atmosphere are roughly the same size as the wavelength of blue light; hence, blue light is scattered by the oxygen atoms, resulting in a "blue" sky. At sunset, when the sky appears red, what is happening is that the blue light is unable to traverse through the atmosphere that far as well, since the earth, from your vantage point, is now on a long-angle to the sun, leaving primarily the red wavelength, which, being much longer than the blue, makes it through unscathed.

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.
