drjim, you mean like me? I had to ask for an explanation. I had no clue and wandered off into the physics of light. Bob Wills is still the King. Terry Fla.
And that's not the worst, I had to explain a 'four guys crossing a zebra-crossing' picture the other day!
(NB. No idea what you colonials call the 'cross the street on black and white lines' thing. I sort of stopped trying to find out what strange manipulations of the English language you call things after my last visit to Idaho when a large, hairy, tattooed and very masculine logger started bragging about his love of wearing 'suspenders' in public. I 'may' have laughed, although I still think the cops were way out of line for arresting me for singing the Monty Python 'loggers song' to him.
Suspenders over here are that frilly, lacey bit of ladies frippery they use to hold up their stockings - in case you wondered).
Jess, by that reasoning, it would be perfectly acceptable for a high school student to not recognize the Mona Lisa. When something becomes a legendary icon, a cultural lodestone, one expects even marginally aware persons to have at least a passing knowledge.
Able, you're my new favorite person. Move to the head of the class. crosswalks and garterbelts and lumberjacks, oh my!
I would expect any reasonably aware & functioning human to recognise this icon..... but I am the wrong side of 50, so I may be showing too much faith in the current generation.... Also, slightly deaf at this time as the Mrs. & I have just been to see a PF tribute band based in Wales, Pinc Ffloyd (Welsh spelling). Very good band, but the disabled seating & wheelchair area at the venue was three feet away from the left hand speaker stack.... so everything sounds a bit buzzy & scratchy right now.

Let's not be too hasty here how hot is she some stupidity can be tolerated:)
Yeah, what if she's into Country and Western?

Terry
Fla.
I not tracking either. My college physics class did indeed use prisms. Is it because this one isn't drawn well?
Oh for the love of God and all that's holy....
Sorry Angel, some of us guys have technical degrees and still don't get the jist of the joke...
Or it could be a damn gay thing and then all of your normal male readers would know squat...
Sorry didn't like pinko floyd... so I wouldn't have known...
Physics, yes. Allow me to explore your...triangle, then.
Angel eyes, it's been a while since your last visit to the Naughty Corner.
Not to be too troublesome, but a current college-age person might never have seen the original album, which is some four decades old, n'est-ce pas?
The world is full of philistines - sigh!

Sad that you had to explain it!
Able, it gets worse. When you talk about braces, people over here think you mean orthodontic hardware.
Angel, what's the Mona Lisa?
