Cool, I thought it was just refraction, then again, I didn't pay much attention in Physics

reminds me of an incident at our doctors when he was examining our Son when he saw only 2 weeks old (Our son was only 2 weeks old, not the Doctor!)

The Doc placed the little fellow on his back on the examining table. His nappy (diaper) was on a little slack and his willie (our son's) was poking out the side of the Nappie.

As the doc leaned over to to listen to his heart, our lad decided to pee. The Our lad had hit the bullseye at the docs crotch. Doc did not notice until he felt the warmth at his ankle. When he (the doc) stood up his pants were of a material that went real dark when wet. It looked as if he (the doc) had pee'd himself!

The Doc had a sense of humour (Fortunately)

God must have a sense of humour to, as the darkest people live in the driest places!

Y'know, I understand this. I just can't simplify it any further.
