If anyone has any questions about skiing technique, ski locations or ski equipment please ask. I know pretty much everything and am without a doubt the best skier on these forums and likely the world.

Ask away...

Ginger or Mary Ann?

I've wanted a definitive answer to this question for decades, and since you "know pretty much everything" I figured you could enlighten me....

How do you manage to fit your immense package in your pants, and doesn't it cause problems while skiing?

The heaviness of the complexity fuels the force behind the dart that hits the mark.

Why is the sky blue ?

Why is it, which came first; the chicken or the egg ? Should it be the chickens or the eggs ?

Why was orange decided to be called orange ? And which color was named first, orange or green ? as you can't get to orange without going thru green.

the sky is blue because white light from the sun is refracted by particles in our atmosphere light would actually be violet if it wasnt for the shortest wave lengths getting absorbed by gas and small particles, the end results is the next shortest wave length of light(blue) gets reflected and scattered from the particle making our sky turn blue. Ever notice how the sky is paler as you look closer to the horizon? Its because it get more scattered the further away from you it get and thus the color duller.

What came first the chicken or the egg? Being a darwinist there is no answer to your question. I pose this question, at what point do we call it a organism known to us as a chicken? If your a creationist though the answer could be either.

lastly why is called orange is actually the most difficult to answer.but there is still an answer to this question. Simply put it is actually named after the fruit orange. So a orange(color) is orange rather than a orange is orange(color). first time it ever appeared in print was 1542. FYI you part about not being able to get to orange with out going though green is simply wrong. the word green is undateably older than the word orange and comes from a german root meaning to grow groeni is the old german word.

Oh, I would say we all understand that concept. That's why we don't ignore him. He would then go away.

Frankly I've missed Chaos. When things are a little stale or snarky, he magically shows up. His posts help enlighten us all about different aspects of forum members. He makes us think creatively. I enjoy that.

God created animals not eggs, just as God created a man and a woman, not a baby.

Although I know the answers to all of the questions posted in this thread I'd like to keep the questions specific to skiing and romantic relationships.

Ok.

Have chaos's post been made invisible? He hasn't replied to any of this?

I wonder if that technique of having the poster think their posts are showing, but actually hiding them is being used?

Chaos?

Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
