    Why is the sky blue?

    That... I can actually explain.:rockwoot:

    Okay, so within the atmosphere, and all the gasses packed into it, the shorter waves of the light spectrum get absorbed by the gasses, leaving the reds, yellows, and oranges to pass through. Because of the retention of the shorter wavelengths by the gas, they cause the sky to appear blue to the eye. This is also what makes the sun appear in a red, orange, yellow color. If you were in space beyond the layer of gas, the sun would appear white, and all you would see looking down at the earth is white clouds, blue water, and the continents..

    Why do hotdogs come in packages of ten, and buns in eight?
    ^ this to me, is something the world may never know.....

    When is the last time you have bought hot dogs or buns? The last time I even heard about this was when I was around 5 and it was in a movie with Steve Martin.
