So, the carrara on here is probably not the whole deal. __________________________________________________________ From MacDrgal the 3D-Puzzle Man (Dec27 10:47): Question: Why do things appear darker when they're wet? Answer: Grab a white shirt, dip it in water, and voila, it turns gray right before your very eyes. If we hadn't all seen it much too often it would make for an impressive magic trick. Since we have, it's an excellent trivia question. What causes this optical transformation is simple science. When fabric gets wet, light coming towards it refracts within the water, dispersing the light. In addition, the surface of the water causes incoherent light scattering. The combination of these two effects causes less light to reflect to your eyes and makes the wet fabric appear darker. __________________________________________________________ From SWGS (Dec27 10:39): what do yall mean its dead, it looks up to me, i have been able to access the site all morning. sure it hasnt been updated, but thats cause they on vacation.
