    But yeah, I love rainbows. The double ones are just fun to stare at, and since it's usually humid outside when they're present, it's like "ohgawdIcouldstareforever."

    Couple of fun facts about rainbows,

    Double rainbows are not rare, in fact most rainbows are double rainbows and some are even triple, the rare part is having the second two vivid enough to see clearly as each one loses intensity.

    This is because light gets reflected twice within a raindrop for the second rainbow, causing it to be fainter and also have it's colours reversed. And the third is even fainter again.

    If you happen to be flying in a plane you can also see the complete circle of a rainbow.

    Oh you silly blindfolded pawns. Rainbows are clearly caused by pollution:

    Wake up, sheeple! This cannot be natural! We all know that it's not something that happened twenty years ago, but now it's happening now!

    Every time I water the lawn, the water spray creates a rainbow. That's when I point the hose above me and revel in the rainbow aura that surrounds me.

    It's worth it even if I get sick from it. >.>
