gap among some bozos as to the differences of meat vs. metal. While I
can see that the similar beginning letter sounds might cause some
initial confusion, I had hoped that classes would continue during my
absence.
Alas, it appears as if there has been no substitute teachers around
these parts lately.
HOWEVER! You are in luck! I have made arrangements for my regular
students to begin basic primary color identification with another so
that I may be available for your lesson today.
Lesson 1- Section 4
Metal: A substance that is inedible to most organic life forms upon
this planet. (Urth) There is a rumor that life forms outside this
system can safely digest some metals but that rumor is, to date,
completely unsubstantiated. Unless of course you ask Larry King. Larry
may not be able to substantiate the rumors but he can discuss how to
blend in a metal eating world using fashion tips gained from Michael
Jackson & Paris Hilton interviews.
Meat: A horrible, red, oozing and smelly substance which comprises
the majority of organic Urth life forms strung together over a
complex system of even grosser tendons and grosser than gross skeletal
bones. Inexplicably, some of these meat covered organic forms don’t
seem to mind eating other organic meat forms. But at this point we
enter into the rather sensitive topic of cannibalism which is a
lesson for another day and will be covered in: “ Low Carb Cooking &
Cannibalism”, scheduled for the Spring Semester to run concurrently
with :

I'm skeptical. Iron is grey when unrusted, and, well, rust-colored
when it _is_ rusted. So how can I believe that bright red color comes
from iron?

Hemoglobin is a molecule that's actually not that different from chlorophyll,
which slurps up, and later spits out, the oxygen molecules. It's made up of
four pieces that fold together like origami, which was illustrated with
colored ribbons in the very Wikipedia article you GOT the phrase from, over
on the right side. It's apparently called a moiety when it's flat... and the
meaning of THAT is, "it's love makes the world go round!" ... er, I mean, that
the color's from the molecule surrounding the iron atom trapped at the center,
not from the iron atom itself, which is sitting there ionized (not ironized,
nor yet ironicized).

It's total bullshit.
The only two differences between chlorophyll and hemoglobin
are metal ion and color.
1 hemoglobin has iron, chlorophyll has magnesium
2 hemoglobin is red, chlorophyll is green.

Because an iron atom is BLUE. Everyone knows that.
Hydrogen atoms are yellow, and oxygen atoms are red.

But I've never seen iron that was red elsewhere. So there must be
something else making it red when it's in hemoglobin.

Mars is in fact _not_ red; it's orangy-rust colored. So why would iron
ever be bright red?

tha's cos it's not all iron oxides. there's the gold oxides as well,
just for starters.

There's a difference. Mars' reputation as red is based on seeing it as
a bright mote against the black of space, which makes the color look
intense. But when you look at a Hubble photo or one from a space
probe, and it hasn't had the coloring distorted, it's a not-too-red
orangy-brown.

But that's the same thing, cuz guys can only see four and a half colors
anyway, right? And one of them's "beer".

There are, coincidentally, four and a half major food groups.
Red/orange
White/yellow
Brown
Green
