Hey Dimelord, are you always such a jackass or is this something
new with you? All you had to do was look in the archives. Oh let
me check, this sounds like a WebTV guy doing his very best.

Here's the text of Osmium's posting on 7/25/2008, the very beginning
of this thread, and posted to both r.o.m and sci.physics.

"To see a rainbow a person must be in the right position for light of
specified wavelengths to enter the eye at certain angles.

"On planets where humans do not exist there are no eyes and no color
vision to perceive the phenomenon of a curved multi-colored arc in the
sky on a rainy day.

"With this example it is easier to see how existence depends on
observation by a conscious entity."

Osmium is a troll with a very long track record. I wouldn't attempt
to guess his motivations at any point in time. AFAIC Mensa deserves
any reputation it achieves regardless of the source. Only status
seekers and social misfits need apply for membership.

I guess you're just a troll too.
