Questions about anything

I seriously can't tell if you are serious or joking but this pains me

The dark is the absence of light. Darkness does not travel. It is literally everywhere. Light is a phenomenon that exists as a wave and a particle. Darkness is neither, therefore, darkness cannot move. Darkness is created when something absorbs the photons in light. Light exists in a spectrum of visible light as well as forms of light that are not visible. The visible spectrum consists of the colors of the rainbow. Color is determined by the type of photons an object absorbs and reflects. The reflected photons are what you see. So, an object that is green reflects back the photons in the green wavelength and absorbs everything else.

White is all of the visible colors of light combined, whereas darkness is when all of the light is absorbed.

So to say light travels faster than darkness is so painfully incorrect, as it would suggest that darkness itself is a wave, and it is NOT. Light is a wave, therefore, it travels.

It was a joke..okay I'm putting up sarcasm/joke signs now (!)

So... we're going to be taxed for using the internet now?

How will they be able to enforce a tax like that?
And will all your posts place you in a higher bracket?

I was watching this clip from the That '70s Show episode "An Eric Foreman Christmas"...

And there's a line I can't understand, in part because of the audience laughter. It comes after Rudolph says that, after the others laughed and called him names, he kicked them in the face. He says something ending with what sounds like the word faucet, but I can't understand the full sentence. Can anybody tell me what he was saying? I guess it would help if you have the DVD (assuming the DVDs have captions), or if you recorded it from TV and your TV has a closed captioning feature.

If 14 is pronounced fourteen,
and 16 is pronounced sixteen,
shouldn't 15 be fiveteen?

And if there's consistency in logic, wouldn't 12 be twoteen and 13 be threeteen?

Find out the whole story tonight on the oneteen o'clock news.

If a production company doesn't have an archive, then where do they store all production material (I assume that the films, master tapes, and digital copies are in vaults somewhere)? It seems like a number of archives don't get started until long after the companies have been around. The Jim Henson Company Archives didn't start until after Jim Henson died, and today I was reading the introductory section of The Ultimate Disney Trivia Book and noticed it said that The Walt Disney Company didn't start an archive until the early 1970s (and I think I've heard that the majority of Disney films and shorts have been kept in good condition over the years).

And if a company has multiple offices (like how The Jim Henson Company has offices in New York and Los Angelas), do they have copies of their entire film and TV library (or at least what they have the distribution rights to) at all production locations?

Last time I went to Walt Diseny World (in 1995), I purchased The Ultimate Disney Trivia Book at one of the gift shops, and tonight I decided to do some research and learned that there were four "Ultimate Disney Trivia" books, but all info I could find was on Amazon. I've never seen any of the follow-up books anywhere, and only saw the first one at a Disney gift shop. So what I'm asking is, does anybody know if "The Ultimate Disney Trivia Book" series was exclusive to the Disney parks (and maybe the Disney Store as well)?

Alls I know is I remember seeing on AFV once where they store all of the tapes and such that are submitted to them, and they keep in basically what looks like a giant walk-in freezer: it's like a climate-controlled room that's keep cold to keep the tapes in good condition, and they're just sorted on shelves upon shelves.

Similarly, there's a picture on THE GREAT SPACE COASTER's Facebook page, and they kept all of their master tapes on shelves in what looks like a typical storage unit.

I would have thought keeping them in a really cold room would ruin them, but I had also never really thought about what kind of temperature the vaults would be (just regular room temperature).

Is it sick and wrong to find a cartoon character really attractive when you're a 26-year-old woman? And for that matter, what if that character is a horrible, horrible person?

Well, we DO have that "Animated Hotties" thread if that makes you feel any better.
