"slam dunk" is the wrong sport. Ernie jarred it from 160. I wish I could use a 9 from 160... I have to club up 2 times to a 7.

Ernie is way cooler than Bert, therefore larger.

I don't remember it, it must not have made much of an impression.
Google/Wiki says he was Expo Ernie. Was he rolling around the fair, just in commercials, or what?

Holy crap. I haven't seen this in ages. Ernie Fosselius must be proud.

Yes, DOF is way too shallow. But he's pretty close to doing it right. It reminds me a bit of early Ernie Kovacs "Eugene"

Ernie Ball singing in the hands a a master. Tony Levin also plays a Stingray. Awesome basses.

but colour is an invention of our brains anyway? Is yellow a specific wavelength or is yellow what our brain says is yellow whether its red+green together, or "true" yellow.

Either way the light output by your monitor is not 580nm like your brain is telling you but rather an even mix of 650nm and 510nm.
If our eyes didn't "fudge" colors in this way we most likely wouldn't have color television (or monitors)


I didn't read his post like that, maybe he's asking for a definition of yellow because as our cones are basically wavelength filters for photons whilst our brain interprets a message of "hey i caught something of this intensity" from each of them, what is this "yellow" that we all use and think we know what it means? It will eventually come down to the resolution of the eye; each photon from each source will be coming in from a different angle into our eye, by extremely small amounts - the smallest thing we can resolve is where our brain says "ok, i think that's coming from the same place; it's not red and blue separately but yellow."

It'd be the same if you have a green and red patterned circular board and spun it really fast. Our eyes effectively have a "framerate", a point where we see something as motion. Play a game and limit to 1 fps, then increase in say 5's and before 30 you should start to feel motion rather than stuttering frames, then as you keep going you can't see stuttering anymore, it's just all motion. Our eyes have something similar, we used to do it in science. My dad was head of physics and he stuck a ROYGBIV patterned board on a black and decker drill and when it was up to speed it looked white.

So if something registers as yellow to our brains, is that not yellow? We have no direct access to our cones, we just interpret the signals. If all we had were light sensitive cells everything would be one colour and no colour at the same time.

That's what the post meant to me and it's a great point really even if it's just an excuse for sciencey discussion! If yellow is defined as a range of wavelengths of light, he's right to say it isn't yellow, but i doubt many people think of yellow in that sense. Having said all that, the video was actually interesting and informative and i enjoyed watching it, and this is probably a philosophical question for others to bother with.

PS.
Bert and Ernie, Simpsons, Smurfs, South Park, Turtles? Not sure about B&E though.

Forced out by term limits in 2009, he had to wait two election cycles to run for re-election.

Primary results?

District 11

May 15 primary candidates:

Brenda J. Council 1,453 Approved- Incumbent Council was first elected in 2008.
Ernie Chambers 1,602 Approved

He sounds like a royal pain in the ass. Good on him.

Hooper. You're right. Special.>> ^therealblankman:

It was really, really special to see Mr. Looper again.

"Ernie ! YOUR rubber ducky ??!?!? "

Thanks for the bump, Issy! Merry Merry!
