It's white!
Sunday, September 21, 2003 by UBoB | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm testing a theory.
The theory is that someone on this site will argue, no, it's black, just for the sake of being contrary. Perhaps it will even progress to the point of someone being exiled.
Let's see if I'm right.
(P.S. It doesn't really matter what the "it" is.)

Hmmm, it seems that not only is the theory proven but I could probably write a doctorate thesis based on just the input received so far. 
BTW, I still say it's white but for the common good of the site I am willing to admit that there might be alternative points of view.

Inifinite can't be black, as white is equal to zero

Gorgias. What say you, Socrates, of black? Is any black, white?
Socrates. No, by Zeus!
Gor. Do you say, then, that no black is white? Soc. None at all.
Gor. But is everything either black or non-black? Soc. Of course.
Gor. And everything either white or non-white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And everything either rough or smooth? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And everything either real or unreal? Soc. Oh, bother! yes.
Gor. Do you say, then, that all black is either rough black or smooth black? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And that all white is either real white or unreal white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And yet is no black, white? Soc. None at all.
Gor. Nor no white, black? Soc. By no means.
Gor. What? Is no smooth black, white? Soc. No; you cannot prove that, Gorgias.
Gor. Nor no rough black, white? Soc. Neither.
Gor. Nor no real white, black? Soc. No.
Gor. Nor no unreal white, black? Soc. No, I say. No white at all is black.
Gor. What if black is smooth, is it not white? Soc. Not in the least.
Gor. And if the last is false, is the first false? Soc. It follows.
Gor. If, then, black is white, does it follow, that black is not smooth? Soc. It does.
Gor. Black-white is not smooth? Soc. What do you mean?
Gor. Can any dead man speak? Soc. No, indeed.
Gor. And is any speaking man dead? Soc. I say, no.
Gor. And is any good king tyrannical? Soc. No.
Gor. And is any tyrannical king good? Soc. I just said no.
Gor. And you said, too, that no rough black is white, did you not? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Then, is any black-white, rough? Soc. No.
Gor. And is any unreal black, white? Soc. No.
Gor. Then, is any black-white unreal? Soc. No.
Gor. No black-white is rough? Soc. None.
Gor. All black-white, then, is non-rough? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And all black-white, non-unreal? Soc. Yes.
Gor. All black-white is then smooth? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And all real? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Some smooth, then, is black-white? Soc. Of course.
Gor. And some real is black-white? Soc. So it seems.
Gor. Some black-white smooth is black-white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Some black smooth is black-white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Some black smooth is white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Some black real is black-white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Some black real is white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Some real black is white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. And some smooth black is white? Soc. Yes.
Gor. Then, some black is white? Soc. I think so myself.
Now I'm really confused.

probably in abnormal psychology I should expect. Especially with Motion arguing with himself using different personae. (It's all Greek anyway)

There are no racists here, just colourists. (or is it spectrumists?)

you, you, color wheel bandit!
speaking of Color Wheels, I parked mine next to the door on my way in and now it seems to have gone flat. After taking a closer look it is obvious someone has shoved a pointed waxy object through it on purpose....
something else that was weird was that Crae-O-la was written on the walls, sidewalk and door.
I wonder what it means?
Well anyway I am installing a Lo Jack soon because now I worry about being Wheel jacked, this used to be such a nice neighborhood too, sad...
