First we will have a look at some history of color.

1611 - Finland - The oldest known color system is credited to astronomer, priest and Neoplatonist Aron Sigfrid Forsius (1569-1637). In his color circle , between the colors Black and White, Red has been placed on the one side since the classical antiquity, and Blue on the other; Yellow then comes between White and Red, pale Yellow between White and Yellow, Orange between Yellow and Red.

Eighty-eight bottles of beer on the wall ... It looks like Benito has had one too many, but looks are deceiving. This brew is Kwispelbier, a non-alcoholic beer for dogs made from beef extract and malt in Zelhem, Netherlands, and even a Chihuahua can't get drunk on it. Kwispelbier is from kwispel, the Dutch word for wagging a tail.

Get well soon Meg!!!

YUP! ...As a white liberal running in a majority African American district, Tennessee Democrat Stephen I. Cohen made a novel pledge on the campaign trail last year: If elected, he would seek to become the first white member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Now that he's a freshman in Congress, Cohen has changed his plans. He said he has dropped his bid after several current and former caucus members made it clear to him that whites need not apply.
