And Adam, usually I’m not much for mixing religion and politics (wasn’t that Cthulhu’s election slogan?), but in this case, I think it just might be a good idea!

“Put the ‘Cthulhu’ back in X-mas!”

now is that not geeky?????

Your theory sounds good, but I dunno. Maybe some thing else you need to consider is the amount of the spectrum being reflected. If the section of wavelengths being reflected is only narrow, then I guess more light would be asorbed.
Another thing is that it may be more then one colour. eg. the sky is actually violet, but we see the blue shades more easily, so it appears blue.

Probably be a question for your teacher to answer, there are alot of things that affect the apparent temp of an object.

Not really. Yeah, we can see better over a wider range then most animals, but, there are some serious flaws.

i was wondering about differences in thermal energy, as a black object is much warmer in the sun from absorbing all the wavelengths of light as heat. would a blue object be cooler than a red object, because the blue object would be absorbing everything but higher-frequency blue light, while a red object would be absorbing everything but the lower-frequency redlight

(As far as the MIT kids could tell me, the etymology of the term has to do with the colour of the Hostess snack, and the fact that it was originally used to describe geeky Asian students, though the term has shifted to encompass all demographics; it’s sort of like the way “oreo” is used as a derogatory term for geek African-Americans in the South (“black on the outside, white on the inside” — it’s actually a really deep insult in some circles, and goes to show how deeply entrenched racism is in the American South); Twinkie is, I’m told, a much more good-matured term, used affectionately.)

MIT/Boston slang, homologous with geek as well. It’s got some happy-crunchy-hippy contexts to it too though.

As for shaving, what’s that got to do with it? Not to stereotype, but when someone says ‘geek’. I’m seeing spots and/or straggly facial hair.
