I think he was wrong...My instincts tell me no. I would say that many layers of H2O (vaporized or in liquid state) and nitrogen would automatically turn a shade of blue without any need to reflect. When sunlight and the image of the gases enters our eyes and hits our retinas, it turns a 'blue' shade (if we can perceive them, that is).

 

Am I right?

^Pretty close. But water doesn't reach very high up into the sky. Also, nitrogen is colorless. The main reason is that the atmosphere absorbs red-end light, so blue comes out. Additionally, oxygen, which has a larger range than H2O in the atmosphere, and is fairly common, has a very faint blue tinge. And yes, that's from what I've learned.

Neither. My glass is completely full.

 

Are you going to empty out my glass?

Posted

No; in fact, quite the opposite. I especially love the bigger ones; sometimes the pain they dish out is just what I need.

 

Have you ridden more than 5 Boomerangs?

Posted

Yup:

Geauga Lake

Darien Lake

Canada's Wonderland

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Six Flags New England

Flamingoland (not a typical SLC, but still technically one)

 

Have you ever pulled an unofficial flatride marathon on a quiet day?

Posted

Helllllllllll no! The worst I ever feel is from the Gravitron, and that's my favorite flat so it obviously doesn't bother me! I've never felt more than dizzy or slightly nauseous.

 

Do you choose a particular animal when you ride a merry-go-round?

Posted

Yes, actually. If there's a rooster, I usually go for that one. If there's no rooster, I look for a zebra. If there's no zebra... well, then I just get on a horse and enjoy the ride.

 

Have you had ice cream in the last 48 hours?

Posted

No, but I have been in a swimsuit. Ponder that. Or don't.

 

Do you know how magnets work? (Please don't answer if you are a scientist.)

Posted

I think so-Magnets attract certain metals by it's magnetic field. The space around the magnet contains the magnetic field, which is created by the movement of negatively charged electrons. Electrons have mass, and a slight charge. Magnetic metals' electrons are unpaired, and spin in the same direction, which creates lines of force that move in the same direction.

 

Do you have a friend who fits the stereotype "geek?"

Posted

I don't know why I still have it considering I own a Wii, but yeah, my Gamecube is there gathering dust, except when I break out Double Dash occasionally.

 

Have you read a good book in the past month?
