Rainbow Frog is Worshipped as God

Posted by Queuebot in Animal, Religion on June 16, 2009 at 3:47 am

In India, a newly discovered color-changing frog has been worshipped as a god. Reji Kumar, the person who found it, keeps the frog in a glass jar at his home where hundreds of people come to see it every day.

Apart from the obvious biological findings this hopping lava lamp can provide, it also gives an additional insight as to how religions and spiritual groups can emerge. I don’t blame them either. Who needs color-saturating hallucinogens for spiritual transcendence when you have a kaleidoscopic animal?

I say this new rainbow frog will become the new symbol for racial equality, just as long as it doesn’t croak (which is actually a concern).

The frog was a dazzling white colour when Reji, who is from Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, in south India, first spotted it.

Then it changed to yellow and had gone grey by the time he got it home.

“By night the frog was dark yellow, and then it became transparent so you could see its internal organs,” Reji, a life worker, reportedly said.

Now this is a fantastic urban art: Artists Bar & Shay converted a drab tunnel in Tel Aviv into a rainbow tunnel!

Wooster Collective has a couple of more pics, though sadly not a word about the background story: Link

Fire Rainbow

Posted by Queuebot in Pictures on March 15, 2009 at 3:07 pm


First thought: "Is this Photoshopped?"

The answer, my friends, is, "No."
Fire rainbows, scientifically known as circumhorizon arcs, can be seen during summer solstice when it is close to noon, around two handspans away from the sun.

The arc is produced by plate oriented crystals and is a close relation to the circumzenithal arc. Light rays enter the almost vertical crystal side faces and leave via the lower horizontal face (ray path 3-1). The refraction of the almost parallel sun’s rays through faces inclined at 90° produces pure, bright and well separated prismatic colours ~ purer than those of the rainbow. The colours are at their best when the crystal tilts are smallest. Large crystal tilts produce more pastel hues.

End of the Rainbow Finally Found

Posted by Queuebot in Pictures on February 14, 2009 at 1:31 am

Not only is there no gold at the end of the rainbow but, frankly, driving straight toward one sounds slightly scary. No, there was no pot of gold nor any other mythical or fantastic phenomena. However, the lucky winner did get $25 playing the lottery later that evening. Coincidence? Probably. Still, this is a rare shot at a part of a phenomena almost never traceable to where it touches the ground.

Jason Erdkamp caught the shot as he travelled along a motorway in Orange County, California, in the rain last Sunday.

The end of the rainbow appeared to emerge from a stormy sky to hit the windscreen of Mr Erdkamp’s car as he drove along the northbound 341 tollroad.

As he drove along the motorway, he managed to capture other shots of the rainbow in which it appears to hit the ground.

Crazy Doors of Rainbow Colors

Posted by Stacy in Flash Games on January 5, 2009 at 5:57 pm


Can you tell I’ve been sort of addicted to flash games lately? Crazy Doors of Rainbow Colors isn’t too hard, but it’s fun and colorful. Well, there is one tricky part, I thought: figuring out the code for the door. Have fun!
