normally blue because the oxygen diffuses blue light most.

The first person that came to mind was Stephen King. Good question, but I don't know.

"My Pet Goat".  It, indeed, must have been fascinating reading.\nMust remember to pick up a copy.

Good Earth, without hesitation.  All this things you can see, all the new things to learn.  Now I want to see the world.\n\nIt makes me think about the title of Dr. Seuss's book:\n\n"Oh, The Places You'll Go"

I loved The Color Purple, especially because most of it, if not all of it is written in letter format.  There is an interesting shift in the book where Celie no longer writes "Dear God," but "Dear Nettie,".  Also isn't it interesting that Mister has no last name mentioned?  He's just Mr.________.  Maybe he is undeserving of a name in Celie's mind?\n\nIf you've read the book, you shouldn't have any trouble with an essay on it, in fact, I had trouble keeping my paper on it to 8 pages,...unless you have difficulty articulating your thoughts onto paper (which often happens to me)...\n\nThe book is rich in content and makes the reader rich in commentary.

It all started in a small log barn in Southern Indiana where BLUE was born in a town called Jockey.  He grew up on a large farm and was groomed by his owners to be a race horse.  He never took to racing like the other horses, but lived for each Sunday when he could watch his beloved Colts play football.  \n\nEarly in his training, he realized he was much different from all the other horses.  One day he woke up and noticed a blue spot on his fur.  He tried to hide his embarrassing spots from the other horses by wearing his saddle all day and night.  Each day he woke up, and his spots were growing bigger and bluer, Bigger and Bluer, BIGGER AND BLUER!  Eventually he turned completely BLUE. All of the other horses made fun of him, and he just didn't fit in.  They wouldn't let him play in any barn yard games.  \n\nThe teasing from the other horses became so nasty that he decided he would run away.  He made his way all around Southern Indiana by sleeping in strange barns and eating out of corn fields along the way.  One day while making his way down to the creek, he saw in the newspaper that the Indianapolis Colts were having try-outs for the team.  Upon reading the news, he became so excited that he galloped all the way to the Colts Training Complex in Indianapolis.  \n\nWhen he arrived at the Colts Training Complex, he was asked to fill out an application for employment.  When he got to the column asking his name, he realized he didn't have a name!  The secretary informed him of the strict NFL rule that all players must have a name to go on the back of their jersey.  Because he had no name, he missed the try-outs.  Realizing he missed his opportunity to live his dream of playing football for the Colts, his eyes began to well up with huge blue tears.  \n\nHe walked out of the Colts Complex with his snout low and his tail between his legs.  Because he was so upset, he wasn't paying attention to where he was walking and accidentally bumped into Colts Owner and CEO, Jim Irsay.  After seeing the distraught horse, Jim asked him "why the long face?"  After a long and heartfelt explanation of his travels, Jim shook his hoof, and said "kid, how would you like to be the new Colts mascot?"\n\nToday, he has a name - BLUE!  BLUE is so proud to be a member of the Colts that he wants to make everyone else around him happy and laugh!

To differentiate it from red which is called red.\n(joke couldn't resist)\nI think there is no reason for the word blue except whoever was in charge of naming words named it blue.\nDo you like it?\nThere was a game book where they made up a condition of life and then named it.Very funny and we who read  it could relate.  For instance a person who likes to practice outer body experience just before he has sex might be called........voyeur. or  retroactive.\nSo you might try this yourself. when intrigued by a certain condition of life.

Blue.\n\nAm I the only one thinking music? See: Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks. Not a bad song on it.

I was raised in a Christian home but as I grew into adulthood I began to have doubts.  I think some events in vietnam made me question a lot.  Then going to school afterward I began to explore other philosopies eventually labeling myself an agnostic.  However I always remained curious and would on occasion read the Bible as well as other philosophy books.  One night about twenty years ago I was reading the Bible and had just started a new chapter and as I read it was like I could hear the words audibly...and in an instant..I believed.  I knew it was true like never before.  I didn't hope it was true.  I didn't wish it was true.  It wasn't a matter of faith for me then.  I knew it was true as certainly as I am sure that I exist.  I never had an experience like that before or since.  well..i guess that's religous but it's the most spiritual thing that's ever happened to me...kinda made me feel strange.

cool... mad libs for one\n\nI got up one morning to the smell of mayhem and butterflies and I saw an ugly yellow shoe.  I thought to myself, "I could have had a V-8!" But then it hit me, I had to have been dreaming, because last I recall, I was in the darkest depths of hell doing Richard Gere's hamster and having the time of my life. I really don't know how I got here, but I wish I'd known then what I know now. I knew iambic pentameter didn't have to rhyme.

Color is actually made up.  We are seeing waves of light and our brain is interpreting them into what we perceive as colors.  Also, we see the waves of light that are being reflected off of things.  So if we see something as being blue that means that the other waves of "color" have been absorbed.  Quite interesting really, and a very good question.  Keep it up, I have had few good questions recently and was about to give up for the night.

"Presidential material, through and through!\nAfter reading the enclosed story "The Pet Goat," I was stunned by its lyrical beauty and easy cadence. The tempo, the choice of words, and the layout on each page captured my imagination so much that it took me about seven minutes to recover my bearings."\n\n---Amazon Reviewer "Lolla Fallujah" (FIVE STARS!)\n\ncopy/paste

Dark Blue by Hugo Boss. It really turned me on when I was with someone, a stranger, having it and we were the only people in the same elevator in an office building. It felt like I was in the middle of filming process for Hugo Boss ad..lol
