    Roses are red, violets are blue. I'm tired of this thread, I don't know about you.

    A big difference, and a profound one at that.

    Every one I have ever seen. And yes, water is clear. Got a clear glass and a faucet? (If the water looks blue, don't drink it. It might be toilet bowl cleaner.)

    Wow, that's a poorly done test. The "white" paper they used is clearly greenish-blue (note the contrast with the white screen next to it, and viewed through the darker, water-filled tube merely appears to be a darker shade of green-blue.

    Damn, Nate ruined Sergio from 3,000 miles away. He played for the perfect coach in NY and still couldn't make it in the NBA. Maybe having the ability to throw a pass to a dunking Rudy everyother game isn't enough. He does have excellent over dribbling skills, the ability to pass and not try a layup, and of course play defense like a bull fighter. Damn you Nate, Sergio could have kept our 15 man on roster seat warm and complained about the great pass that he made two games ago.

    Thank GOD for real he left. It is hard to imagine a player that can't score who is under 6'10" from over 5' away. When he sucks in Europe, Nate will still be responsible, right?

    It was your link :)
    Do you really think they used a greenish-blue piece of paper? Maybe they put blue food-coloring in the water, too.

    It's not very good photography. But it is clearly the correct result.

    Well, tired can often mean several different things. For instance, tired can be about what you put on your car wheels. Also, it can included in a phrase with 'feathers', as in "I think he was tired and feathered". But in the context of which I meant, in accordance to my 8th grade PE teacher, tired means "the act of, and belief in, being able to understand the concept wholly, within the guidelines of the state requirements regarding the level of oxygen that is parsing through ones brain, at any given time during an activity which is centered on the concept of improving the overall health and well being of an individual who wishes to maintain a particular heart-rate over a 60 minute time period to fit the standard of 40 beats per minute resting rate."

    Whether you call it white or blue, both tubes show the same exact color, one is simply a darker shade than the other. Neither appears blue to me and definitely not white. From my many years in printing I can tell you actual "white" paper is a rarity, as most paper contains many tiny colored threads.

    I'm trying to read a thread about Sergio and his future in the NBA, and the Powers that Be have turned it into a lesson in color, and how we perceive them.

    This didn't work out as you imagined it would when you typed it, did it? Or was your screen "blue"?

    Maris and Sergio are quite similar. Sergio thinks he was taught enough about basketball by 7th grade coaches to play in the NBA. Maris thinks a 7th grade teacher knows enough about wavelengths, reflected and absorbed, to give him enough knowledge to correct people on an NBA internet forum.

    Does anyone know what or who Encectando.es is?

    Every mention of this "story" on the internet is the same blurb quoting Encectando.es as the only source. No web search I try brings up Encectando.es, just posts quoting this blurb. I have never heard of it.

    Better yet, anybody have a verifiable report from a credible source?

    What it is is a typo. The article linked in the first post had a working link to it www.encestando.es


    It's that damn measure 66 and 67 again! Driving point guards out of state.

    Thanks! It's all in Spanish. Is it a message board, a sports news wannabe like hoopshype, or a credible news source?
