I really would like to know why ??
When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The color with the shorter wavelength is scattered more by this collision. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.
Our eyes contain thousand of rods and cones, which are the receptors for light. Whenever one of the 3 Stooges pokes you in the eye you see a giant blue spot. This is because the blue receptors have been activated. Blue is one of the primary colors and thus more easily activated and seen by our eyes.
Blue is also how I feel when my baby leaves and my hound dog dies. Also, how I feel when the cops pull me over and I see their blue lights flashing in my rear view mirror. Then, again, blue is the color of the K-mart special, so this color isn't all bad.

oops, wrong thread
The girl responds " nope not even close" and goes on with a similiar answer to mangy moose' and the dad asks "who taught you that" she replies "mommy".
It's a commercial meant to get people to teach thier girls math and sciences while they're still young.

I used to have these really cool orang ones and everything looked yellow and happy through them.
Why, nothing was as much fun as listening to mellow hippie music, stoned out of my face and driving around the place with the windows open.
The coolest thing being that the weather didn't make a difference! The orange sunglasses made everything look cheerful and glee anyways.
My best mate lost them at a U2 concert. He didn't pay me back.
