This is a question Useless Information

Did you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

when white light hits a yellow surface (cheese) it absorbs everything but the yellow light, which is refelected, makeing cheese yellow.
The sea is blue because it reflects the sky?? well the sky is blue because of the light refracting in the dust in the atmosphere and the atmosphere itself, much like the way white light is split through a prisim. This is also why the colour of the sky changes at night as the angle of the sun causes different colours to be shown
