<p>FINALLY! actually, wink does that too… and u stole my animated sound thing, so we’re even…</p>
<p>fine i’ll give you that. and not steal, that’s such a dirty word. i gently borrow.</p>
<p>lets just say i got a friendly loan (with interest!) … and then took off for mexico hehe…</p>
<p><em>bang</em> <em>schick schick</em> <em>bang</em> <em>schick schick</em> here we go again…</p>
<p>sorry i cut out for lunch. stop shooting things.</p>
<p>i was in outer space, there’s not much to hit…</p>
<p>yeah you say that now. then there’s a new black hole conveniently close to earth…</p>
<p>Black holes might not actually exist. It’s weird.</p>
<p>maybe that’s why my bullets were making left turns in mid-air (or is it mid-space)</p>
<p>id say mid-space</p>
<p>and why is it called “outer space”?</p>
<p>why are stoplights red? why is the thumb on the blinking hand on the crosswalk always on the right side? why are #2 pencils called #2? why is porna so harsh and well…porna-ish?</p>
<p>we may never know…</p>
<p>1) Because red’s fierce.
2) Because the crosswalk-sign industry is secretly plotting to eradicate left-handed people from this world.
3) Because the #1 pencils drowned in the Great Flood along with the unicorns. “Oh, them silly number one pencils…”
4) I am what I am, except for when I’m someone else.</p>
<p>6 days! <em>squeee!</em> 1/2 day until school. <em>not-squee.</em></p>
<p>uh oh… lets hope porna’s not in a rip-someone’s-head-off-then-eat-their-brain mood today…:eek:</p>
<p>Well…if stoplights were green, that would get very confusing. 
Red = opposite of green. It just seems the way to go.</p>
<p>why is green go? why is red stop in the first place? why is yellow slow (or speed up reallly fast:)). its not a mix of red and green - that’s brown</p>
<p>would you stop at a brown light? would you be able to see it in the dark?</p>
<p>Red has always come across as a “warning” color (like all those “danger” labels, fire, hot things in general…); maybe that’s why it would be logical to mean “stop”?</p>
<p>Green…is the opposite of red, and a comparatively “passive” color and more soothing/“healing”. I really can’t think of any other logic behind it.</p>
<p>Yellow (or amber) suggests “caution” and psychologically bridges between green and red. Brown is a mixture, but less aesthetically pleasing. Amber is close enough to brown, I guess.</p>
<p>The choices probably had some level of arbitrary decision-making and the need for a standardized system. Red, green, and amber must have seemed logical enough…</p>
<p>haha, mebbe have red, purple, blue lights then?</p>
<p>There’s also the green-'Go!" alliteration to consider.</p>
<p>red, purple, and blue would be pretty!</p>
