Yeah, I’m an internet junkie. Surfing for me means following link after link on whatever little thing crosses my mind while I’m sitting at the computer. Every now and then I’ll fall back on old favorites, like failblog.org. While browsing failblog, I noticed two posts that really made my brain squirm: In one, I believe it was a letter to a newspaper editor, a gentleman speculated that the recent droughts were the result of daylight savings time. You see, all that extra light in a day heats the earth more, drying things up…

Oy. Really? There are people that stupid? Must be, because the other one that caught my eye was of a lawn sprinkler with a nice rainbow behind it. The woman holding the camera was complaining that she never used to see rainbows so close to the ground. “They” must be putting things in the water to cause rainbows so close to the ground! It’s a conspiracy!

Physics. It’s a conspiracy.
