andrew@rentec.com (Andrew Mullhaupt) asks "Mommy,"

>Why is the sky blue?

Because it reflects the sea.			(From "Science Made Stupid")

A related joke, due to Feynman: Why do faraway mountains look blue?

Because they're higher up, so gravity is less, so time runs faster, and
thus they're blue-shifted.
