I suspect the rainbow thing will ultimately spawn more spoofs than actual carriers. Actually, that's not true - I just wish it was. Some time ago, while walking through Manchester's Gay Village (it only goes out with other villages), I became a little disapproving of the way the community there (and, indeed, accross the world) has commandeered the rainbow. As though non-gay people aren't allowed to be flamboyant or wear bright colours, or something. Not that anyone needs my approval for anything, it just struck me as an odd thing to do. "I like to put my penis inside other men, and also pretty colours." I think it mostly perpetuates stereotypes.

I'm mostly babbling right now because NTL has disengaged their mail servers for maintenance, so I have nothing to do. I suppose I may as well go to bed, feh.

Hopefully tomorrow night is D&D at

ghostbritain's place, unless he is sick with gout again. Do not have gout Nook! We enjoy you.

It's not actually a rainbow (red and yellow and pink and green, orange and purple and blue) nor even a spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). It's just a bar of colours pretending to be something it's not. Which is completely irrelevant and I only mention it because I really have nothing better to do right now...

Personally, I'm for anybody getting married provided both parties are consenting and know what is going on. I cannot be bothered with people who have marriage ceremonies for their pets. That's just ridiculous.

The visible light spectrum does not in fact comprise of seven distinct colours, being analog rather than digital. The seven-colour rainbow was invented by crazy old men who thought that seven was a holy number.

Come on, what is the exact difference between Indigo and Violet?

Excellent. Well done.

And if that's the distance between the two colours, what are the colours that appear in the spectrum between them? Are they indigo or violet? Clearly they must be one or the other, since only those seven colours appear in the rainbow...
