TIDBITS LOOKS AT

THE COLOR PURPLEby Kathy Wolfe

Mix a little blue light and a little red light, and there you have it purple! This week, Tidbits examines this royal color, and looks at eve-rything from fruits to dinosaurs! Purple light doesnt actually exist in its own

wavelength, only as a combination of blue and red. Dont confuse purple with violet, which is a spectral color, meaning it appears as a single wavelength of light.

Purple has long been associated with roy-alty,mostly because they were the only ones who could afford it! The pigment used to color the robes of the royals came from an unusual gastropod sea snail, a mollusk that secreted a milky colorless substance that changed to a long-lasting dye once exposed to the air. It was this Bolinus brandaris creature, habitating primarily in the Mediter-ranean Sea, that the ancients dating back to the time of Alexander the Great used to cre-ate the color known as Tyrian, or Imperial, purple.

From1957to2003,childreneverywherecoulddraw their various art projects with a mulberry crayon. Crayola hues in the purple family included, among others, eggplant, fuchsia, plum, orchid, wisteria, and the patriotic purple mountains majesty.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them. Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her fathers birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; theyd be responsible for any poor performers.

Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they dont reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the holiday is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

EVERY WEEK!

By Samantha Weaver

It was Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president of the United States, who made the following sage observation: Its a recession when your neighbor loses his job; its a depression when you lose yours.

In all likelihood, youve never heard of an ailment known as aquagenic urticaria. Its extremely rare, affecting only 1 out of every 23 million people on the planet. Those who suffer from this disease are hypersensitive to the ions found in non-distilled water. They can drink distilled water, but if they come into contact with any other kind of water, they break out in a painful allergic rash.

The country of Finland has more islands than any other nation on Earth.

Next time youre heading to sunny Florida for a vacation, try to make it to Key Largo to stay at the Jules Undersea Lodge. True to its name, the

hotel is located 21 feet under water, and guests have to scuba dive to the entrance. And if you dont already know

how to scuba dive, dont worry -- the management offers a two-hour introduction so you can make it to your room.

Someone with way too much time on his hands discovered that a quarter has 119 grooves along its edge.

From the Yes, There Is a Word for It files comes todays entry: acnestis. This word denotes that part of the body that you cannot reach to scratch (and its an excellent reason to get married). This handy noun comes from the word aknestis, which, perhaps unsurprisingly, means spine in Greek.***Thought for the Day: Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself -- like, for instance, he cant find any clean socks. -- Jean Kerr
