A long time ago I read an NTSB study of sign visibility. It said that the most visible color combination is Yellow on Black. So why don't they use it?
This page is a compromise.
A long time ago I saw a castle floating in the sky. I stared at it for days and then decided I would build wings so I could visit there. My first attempt was with pillows. So soft and light, when I layed down to sleep it felt like my head was floating. I gathered up all the pillows we had in the house, laid them all out on the lawn and lied down. To my suprise I fell asleep instead of floating up into the sky. Instead of finding myself up in the clouds I woke-up to being yelled at. Everyone's pillow was dirty so couldn't be used in bed anymore. Next I thought of helium balloons. How they floated on a string, trying hard to reach the castle but were tethered to the ground. I got a balloon and untied it, before I could ask it to carry me there, it had already left. So then I got a helium tank. I thought if I made a hundred balloons, surely two would wait long enough for me to ask my question and surely one would agree to carry me into the sky. To my suprise none stayed long enough for me to say a word. Well, maybe my problem is the balloons, maybe they weren't very happy being stretched as they were by the heium. So I decided not to use them. I put my lips to the tank and inhaled as much as I could. Jumped up and down and inhaled more helium. It felt as if I was beginning to float and closed my eyes with joy. When I woke my head hurt and all the helium was gone. It wasn't the balloons that refused to help me, it was helium that only thought of its own escape without thought of helping others.

When I speak to the earth the trees wave their arms at me. I like to hike to tops of mountains or swimming holes. I'm a total Mac Head who's using a PC. I live in a blackhole and wonder what life's like in a vacuum. Mostly I spend my freetime writing and hiking. The rest of the time is on the computer learning new skills and working on my computer learning new skills.

A Quote from, The Hitchhiker's guide to the Universe :
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

Here's my favorite Silverstein Poem too:
"Stone Telling"
How do you tell if a window is open?
why just throw a stone at it
does it make a sound?
it doesn't?
Then it's open!
Try another one
crash!
You've gotta hear him tell it, it's just hilarious.
