Hey there .. do I have this right - you had a dragon chomping into it's own neck on your T-shirt at the meet last night? Because if that was you, then I have the right person and just to say it was nice to meet you yesterday! If that wasn't you, then hello anyway smiley - smiley

Yes .. I can't think of anything to say either, apart from the fact that I can't think of anything to say. But then by saying that I did have something to say. So .. hmm ..

That reminds me of a guy I know who always tried to argue with me that black isn't a colour.

Technically correct, black is in physics rather than art, the definition of black is the absence of light, which is half the proof that balck is white smiley - smiley

black is white, the proof.

white is what we percieve if the quantity of wavelengths of visable light are equal.

black is what we percieve if the quantity of wavelengths of visable light are zero.

if the quantity of wavelengths of visable light are zero they are also equal.

Therefore black is white smiley - smiley

Haha, pretty good.

That's like saying grey is white because it's just a darker white. And if you keep going for darker and darker greys (which are stil white, of course) you eventually end up with black. Therefore black is white.

There you go, proof using limits smiley - smiley
