geek debate
So we were still discussing in the parking lot, after we had exited the party, and another guest walked out. She was surprised to find us still on the premises.
"Are you guys still talking about..."
All: "Yes"
laughs all around.
For the defense
possibly where this started
and for the prosecution
Modern Dye
Primitive Black Dye
The argument as stated was that there are no true black dyes in nature.
"If you wash a sock 50 times, it will turn deep blue or purple, but not grey."
Ludicrous
However, this might be a good time to point out that contrary to popular belief, the "K" in CMYK does not stand for "blacK"

I love that geeks are passionate in pursuit of science.
(I am looking for a way to put a positive spin on the fact that my husband and his friends spent the better part of an evening discussing the nature of color, specifically in regard to black socks.)
And Dr. Sardonic, for the last time, YOUR SUITCASE IS NOT TEAL! At least, how we mere humans experience teal, anyway.

Our senses are tailored to each of us. Everyone experiences differently. A glass of scotch, a soft stroke on the nape, the sound of a four year old shriek, and the color of a suitcase will carry different overtones, undertones and connotations for each individual.
However, that being said, we all can agree without too much specificity that the scotch is peaty, the touch is pleasant, the shriek is piercing and the suitcase is not TEAL!

Sir, I was wrong.
That being said, let me point out that far more people believed me, based soley on the passion in my heart and my conviction that I was right than believed you and your "accurate" "facts." And in the end, isn't that what really matters?

I hate to change the subject, but someone's "talking trash about your mistress".

B.A., the downplay of "facts" is what keeps our glorious commander in chief in office.

did you ever notice that if you sweat while wearing black socks( or any color other than white) it turns your feet that color? I know its the dye, but c'mon, who wants black crap in between their toes?? and never ever wear socks with sandals!
