Rainbow

Rainbows are often related with whimsical fairytales such as lovey-dovey happily ever after tales of prince and princess that finishes with a rainbow that happens to appear magically for the finale (even though there was no rain mentioned in the story). Not to mention, the pot of gold at the end of it that apparently belongs to no one. Anyhow, since I was a little girl, seeing rainbows never fail to lift my spirits. I’ll always be pointing excitedly and shouting “Rainbow! Rainbow” like I’ve never seen one in my entire life…hehehe

Anyway I decided to read up a little bit about rainbow myths…Here's some of it, but i'm not sure how true it is

· There’s a pot of gold placed at the end of the rainbow by angels and only a nude man could obtain the prize. I wonder who thought of that sicko story. Sounds like porn.

· Passing beneath the rainbow could turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man. Hmmm ah kua????

· The rainbow was put in the sky by God as a covenant with Noah that He would never again destroy the earth by flood….erm before god did that was the sunlight not a spectrum…hard to believe so…

· It’s a gateway between heaven and earth….you can’t step on light, you’ll have to float on the rainbow…but again if u can float why not take the direct path – which is vertically up?

· In Islam, the rainbow is said to have only four colors - - blue, green, red, and yellow - - all of which are related to the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. Rainbow already proven to have 7 colours la (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet)

Count it yourself…
