    So the XKCD guy did a survey where people named colors forever ago. http://i.tylian.net/dTMb2.png I'm laughing so hard at this part of the results page.

        @minti "A couple dozen people embedded SQL ‘drop table’ statements in the color names. Nice try, kids.

        @theglark Men are obviously the dominant race when it comes to naming colors.

          @minti Idunno... "Ultra Violet" always struck me as a colour named by a girl named Violet who looked through a pure red and a pure blue goggle at the same time

            @theglark Clearly they didn't play enough pokemon as children. Presumably they're the same people who can't reliably spell Cerulean.

            @theglark In their defense, I probably would have said "fuschia" too.
