I am aware of these things that you earthlings call red onions. They are related to red cabbage I believe - which is also purple.

More of a magenta, really. But whatever they are, they're not red. You're right!

Maybe it was a color-blind farmer who named it and everyone just went along with him.

Yeah, the mysterious, eldritch cult known only as They Who Name Vegetables The Wrong Colour. They're not very healthy though. They're stumped when it comes to eating their greens.

ya, the first thing that comes to mind when i think about spammers is sticking them down into an ice fishing hole and watching them scream when the water hits their naked weiners. but, you know, thats just me.

Wow, where the hell has this conversation gone?

I second Ubie's theory - do you know how many males are legitimately colorblind? Malcolm is and I forget it all the time. Yesterday he held a reddish crayon up to a lavender sweater I was wearing and said "this matches you." I seriously about fell over. He wasn't joking.

So take a deep breath, will ya? Smooches.

No, they let us color with crayons in the visiting room - one of the more risque activities to partake in.

You know...
