Fun Fact! Glass is see-through because the electrons that make up the substance only absorb photons at frequencies outside of the spectrum of visible light, allowing said visible light to pass through the mostly empty space of atoms undeterred. This is why you can't get sunburns from light that passes through glass; the ultraviolet light is absorbed while the harmless visible light passes through. Now I SEE how that's such a BRIGHT fact! | Fun Fact!

Fun Fact! According to the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a Nobel Prize cannot be awarded posthumously (that means you have to be alive to get it) unless the death has occurred after the Prize's announcement. The only exception to this is Ralph Steinman, when it was announced that he would receive the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine a mere three days after his passing. It was decided that the announcement was made in good faith, everyone unaware that he had died just a few days prior, so he was allowed to receive his award anyway. Isn't that a PRIZED fact? | |||

You may or may not know me as the writer of:
- Dragon Ball S (Where the 'S' stands for 'sex' this time.)
- And nothing else at the moment.
If you wish to contact me for God-knows-what-reason, you can do so at my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I figure out how that shit works.
