Today I Learned: 1) ...what chartreuse looks like. It's a slightly yellowish lime green. Technically, that's web chartruse, a.k.a. chartreuse Green, a.k.a. 7FFF00. There's also *chartreuse yellow*, a.k.a. "traditional charteuse", a.k.a. DDFFF00, which is a much yellower shade that's rather harder to define. 2) The two most common causes of unfair dice (at least, due to manufacturing error) are 1) two opposite sides being squished slightly together, causing those two sides to be more highly weighted, and 2) air bubbles trapped in the die plastic, which caus sides near the bubble to come up more often because they're lighter. 3) An AU (Astronomical Unit, the distance from the sun to the Earth) is, very roughly, 10^-5 lightyears.
