Yeah Fred, what kind of sourcing is this...a forum posting?? See WP:RS - posts to bulletin boards, Usenet, and wikis, or messages left on blogs, should not be used as sources. :)

Problem is whith that classic example is that the sky often isn't blue. It spends a fair bit of time being black with white bits. Depending on where you are grey may be popular and red/pink may appear as much as twice a day.

Indeed. I'd say it's spent more time being grey than blue, recently. Miserable weather...

If only it was the weather. Around here (Melbourne), it's nearby bushfires filling the sky with smoke and haze. Blue would be a nice change!
