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

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 ..

The only thing I can think of at the moment is:
Beware of zebra crossings; for I have proof black is white

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

It's ok I think I knew what you meant, sort of perhaps maybe.

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

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
