I should bloody well think so! An "embedded graphic" indeed! THAT'S NO EXCUSE! That's just very poor form - compounded by LAZINESS!

Utter rot. Any real man knows that aqua is what you add to your whisky. (unless its a 12 year old single malt in which case you ust add more whisky)

Why is vanilla ice cream white when vanilla extract is brown?...because most commercial ice-creams use artifical flavourings.
Vanilla extract is processed with alcohol and 'real' vanilla uses very little alcohol. I use 'real' vanilla. It's like using 'real' saffron... well worth the difference.

Besides if vanilla ice-cream was brown, what would happen to Neopolitan :blink:

If black is the absence of colour is it right to call it colourless? :mellow:

If black is described as an absence of colour, then the tin is empty?

"It's not"? That doesn't make sense. What colour is the contents?Ah, I was presuming the contents of the tin of black paint was black paint. I don't consider 'black' to be a colour. Therfore the contents are not a colour. but if the contents of a tin of black paint was not black paint then I don't know... do you have a particular tin of black paint in mind? :crazy:

cc rider

If black is described as an absence of colour, then the tin is empty?Only if you have finished painting.
That would make all clear booze... not there/empty :eek:

Just because you cannot see something,doesn't mean it isn't there. Like the pedestrian that walks out in front of you and looks the other way pretending you won't squash them because they can't see you anymore . In short ,no my dear you are not naked. If you were I'm sure you would get much more interesting work,ha,ha.
