Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 09, 2023

Mixture of Reddish-Green and Yellowish-Blue would be brown?

So, the ad slogan “We put the Cry in Cryonics” is no longer trademark protected??

I’m guessing the Yemenite trio lost the lawsuit?

That’s funny, Marvin the martian doesn’t look like a Yemeni.

More on coal some major coal company’s have been investing money into electric locomotives to move their coal.

Oh boy, let me talk about colour theory. This will probably be my least interesting (to anyone else) comment ever.

The human eye has three types of colour receptors, each of which detects the intensity of one specific wavelength: Red (594nm), Green (488nm) and Blue (350nm). Every colour anyone sees is a combination of different levels of those three. For example, if someone sees something that is emitting (or reflecting) no blue light, and twice as much red as green, it will appear to be orange.

Digital colour systems use the same system. If you look very close at your screen, every single pixel is a little trio of lights, one in each primary colour, which can illuminate at 255 gradual levels of brightness in order to replicate any colour.

You can view the impossible colours in this very comic by crossing your eyes until the dots overlap, so that your binocular vision thinks you’re looking at a single square that is both colours at once. Blue and yellow are opposites, since yellow is equal green and red without any blue. Green’s opposite is actual magenta (blue+red) and red’s is cyan (green+blue), but it’s close enough that the optical illusion still works.

Now, as a tangent, you might be thinking that in art class you were taught the three primary colours as red, yellow and blue. It’s not that they got yellow wrong, in this case. What actually happened was that early colour theorists discovered that the primary colours in pigments mix differently than light. In light, the three Additive Primary Colours mix together to create white, while the Subtractive Primaries of pigments make black. The three true subtractive primaries are actually cyan, yellow and magenta (which you may recognize from modern-day printing systems), but back then they discovered it with a slightly darker, cooler blue and a slightly warmer red, and the trio stuck.

Surely reddish-green is brown and yellowish-blue is green

Cheaper and more efficient – not by a long shot! The cost of solar panels, their maintenance and their short (20 years) lifespan make them very costly and they don’t work without sunshine. Governments and media have been pulling the wool over our eyes.

I can understand if those three Yemen people sued for a Snickers or an Abba Zaba, but a Mars bar? They deserved to lose right from the git go.

Take care, may rotting standup corpse in cryogenic tube number 12 Amos “Well Hey You Pays Your Money And You Takes Your Chances” Carionord be with you, and gesundheit.

Yemeni lawsuit here…http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/9707/24/yemen.mars/

Hoping poor Walt Disney was one of the ones no longer frozen. I don’t think he’d want to come back today…

About the cryonics company – couldn’t they have had the decency to return the remains to the relatives?

I’m sure the coal museum people are happy they can check off their “going green” quota with those solar panels that required massive pollution from lithium mining

That really steams me that the Cryonics company could do that to it’s customers!

A reddish green is called “brown”.

IF solar energy WERE cheaper and more efficient then why is the demand for coal INCREASING worldwide?

Well, museums do tend to contain things no longer popular….

If you are an horror fan, Wes Craven choose Red and Green as the color of Freddy Krugers sweater because he read it was the most unsettling colors to the human eye

That cryogenic thing probably gave DICK TRACY the idea to bring back Pruneface
