I was talking to a friend today and we got on a spate of rap about radio or TV waves from a broadcast center being visible and what a sight that would be covering the planet in a spagetti like clump. And then we went to colors of waves and shapes and onto infinity. But the conversation really became interesting when my friend said "I wonder what the world would be like if you could see a person passing visible gas?" For example: would a fart be red if you ate some cherries? Well, you know the rest of the story.
(BTW this is not related to signs, I think)

For example: would a fart be red if you ate some cherries? ------------------------ Yes, if the mushrooms you ate first were also red. If they were white the gas would be pink, and if they were brown it would be maroon.

Here's another gross 'unsee-able' thing . . . I saw this years ago on show that magnified things.
So traumatic was the affect of this image, it has never left my mind.
Now, not even mentioning other things they showed, for example, the monster-like-sci-fi appearance of common microscopic bugs that dwell with us . . . . . . on this program they showed, in slow-motion, magnified only by 5 times, what emanates from your toilet when you flush it -
looks somethin' like a volcano spewing . . . EUW-ACK-BLECH!
Kind'a makes you wanna step away a few paces and point a can of Lysol over that thing to try to fight back . . .
I think Howard Hughes knew more than we give his obssessive-compulsive-self credit for . . .
Just as an aside, try to avoid touching things in public restrooms with any part of your person . . . . lots if unsee-ables -ie; 'coodies' for the taking . . .

Isn't there some branch of science that positively identifies the presences of substances by the colours they give off when burned? The name Spectrography comes to mind, but I'm not really positive. The questions that that possibility raises however are rather intrigueing. Lighting farts and photographing the resulting flames could lead to an analysis of possible mineral deficiencies one might have.
But then again, who'd really want that job
edited to correct the scientific name.

What if you could roll up your farts, if you could see them, like a snowball and throw them at people. Damn that would be cool!

Here's another thought.... Let's say you are at a theatre watching a movie and all of the people in the seats have a popcorn and a soda. GAS...... And, 30 minutes into the film all hell breaks loose and mushroom clouds (in color of course) appear all the way to the ceiling. Now wouldn't that be a site.

One of my Grandmothers was a "particle freak" and folks made fun of her. She complained about germs all her life. (92 years.)
She was married to the same man for over 50 years.
Yes, she complained about him too, LOL. He outlived her by well over a year and was riding a 4-wheeler down a 26 acre hillside just 6 weeks before pnumonia took him out. (in the month of February...brr.)
Not trying to highjack the post, just high-five with Jack. After raising children I hate the big city LOL.
Y'all take care now...hear? And stay warm! LOL.
Jack, you want to see somp'n spinning out of control? Type "Earth's Magnetic Field" into google and don't be afraid to click on the "Incan Phrophecies" link when you see it! LOL
Today, my beeper is a baby monitor and I'm being paged. Nice to see your post Jack! Saturday brinch with Letterheads...woohoo! LOL.
