(22,669 posts)Grass, like many plants reflect green light wavelengths and absorb many others under full spectrum white light. Under a grow lamp that does not preset the leaf with green wavelengths, the leaves will reflect pink and purple.
But your point, otherwise, is spot on.

(19,199 posts)Thanks for reminding me that mind-numbingly deceitful televangelists aren't a recent phenomenon. I forgot all about the huge Teletubbies "scandal" perpetrated by Falwell.

(6,448 posts)a hypocrite.
South African Apartheid separated people into White (Europeans), Black (native Africans), and Colored (people born in Asia). White people could own property and were able to vote. Colored people had one of those rights, but not both. (I learned this in college over 30 years ago, so it's foggy.) And black people had no rights. Besides, whites were only 33% of the population. As Robin Williams once joked, "You ever hear of a guy named Custer?"
What racist Falwell forgot was that Jesus, having been born in the Middle East--part of Asia--was colored. Who's the hypocrite now?
And now Falwell Jr is following his father into hell for his bigotry and hate speech.

(6,522 posts)A long time ago, my Aunt worked at a state mental hospital. Someone big was coming to tour the facility, but the grass was brown from the summer. So, my aunt reported that they painted the lawns green.
Not kidding.
