Today's Rant Topic: Grapes!

No, not crêpes. Grapes.

Here’s the interesting part: “Red grapes” are purple, and “white grapes” are green.

Why? Because “Purple grapes” are red, and “green grapes” are raisins! You may think there is no real point to this mixey-up of labeling, but consider the following:

…Okay, what I am about to say has a chance of confusing everyone, but hear me out, this is an actual fact! A factual act! No, I am not stalling, here it is:

Take a goooooood look at a Lego brick. A red Lego brick. If you don’t have a red Lego brick, then you’ve not been a fan of Bionicle before 2004.

Now, this brick is absorbing colors, and reflecting colors, right before your very eyes. It is reflecting red light, so it looks as if it was colored red. It absorbs the yellow and blue colors, so we don’t see those.

WHICH MEANS? The Lego brick is actually green; we just aren’t seeing the colors it takes in, we’re seeing the colors it throws away. (Remember, inverting your computer screen is different, because it uses red-green-blue versus red-yellow-blue. The brick is green, so HA!!)

So, “red grapes” aren’t red, or purple. They’re green. And “white grapes” aren’t white, or green. They’re red. If you haven’t seen a red grape before, then you eat too many raisins.
