    ROTFL!!!!!!!

    How do they think this stuff up?

    Actually, I think I know...(here's MY theory)

    Astronomers are fascinated with the theory of "dark matter" and "dark energy". Seems that everything they see doesn't account for the motions/properties/mass of the universe. So they thought up "dark matter" and "dark energy" to explain everything. I'm guessing the individual who thought this up is into astronomy, and took it to it's next "logical" step. Stars don't emit light, they suck up the dark!

    See, Yoda was right: "Luminous beings are we". Flash doesn't light up your subject. Your subject is emitting light and the flash just sucks up the dark!

    My favorite line is where thy explain why dark is heavier than light (the lake example, its darker at the bottom) and that's why light is called "light"...lol

    Talk about tongue in cheek stuff, this is it. This one rates right up there with "Blazing Saddles".

    I particuarly liked the burned out light bulb example. There's a dark spot where it's been absorbing dark. Hehehe.

    Thanks for posting this!

    So that's why...

    my friends and I avoid light. We know that as goths and other sorts of black clad dark wavers that the lights suck up our energy. We dress in all black so that it sucks the dark from our clothing first, avoiding our *luminosity* being taken by the eeeeevil bulbs!

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    negative film

    I think I understand how negative film works now, once and for all.

    There must be some sort of dark-magnetism. Dark areas of a subject possess negative dark-magnetism: They attract dark. Light areas of a subject possess positive dark-magnetism: They repel dark.

    The camera chamber is full of dark, but when the shutter is opened, the dark has a chance to escape.

    Negative film is layered with neutral or weakly positive dark-magnetic material. Areas of the film that align with dark areas of the subject become light, b/c the dark is attracted to the negative dark-magnetism of the subject area, and also may be repelled by the film. Areas of the film that align with light areas of the subject remain dark, b/c the subject area does not attract the dark, so the dark leaks out very slowly. The longer the shutter is open, or the bigger the aperture, the more dark escapes.

    But I still don't get how positive film works...
