you're a hopeless case

did you get left back in kindergarten????

teacher did not let you paint the sun white?? that would get you left back..


Since you're posting from the 'science fiction community'...
i guess i need to use sf lingo..

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote a Mars book which contained comments 
that 'on Mars there are two more primary colors than on Earth'


maybe that would help..

(since the glasses you wear have...rose colors.)
