They were lying to you, there's no gold at the end of the rainbow
 

Amazing picture but my childhood hopes have been dashed to smithereens :(

THE LIE

told you you'd never get me pot o gold

Re: They were lying to you, there's no gold at the end of the rainbow
 

carry on dreaming missy. that rainbow looks a long way off and not on the road.

It's a fake btw. So don't give up looking for gold yet!

Re: They were lying to you, there's no gold at the end of the rainbow
 

The first picture shows it to be on the road? :confused:

How can you tell?

Re: They were lying to you, there's no gold at the end of the rainbow
 

Scientists will tell you that due to the way a rainbow forms, and the fact it's technically an optical illusion, not an actual object; that you cannot possibly reach the end of the rainbow. Mainly because they move away from you just as fast as you move towards them.

Pilots will tell you that a rainbow seen from above is circular, and therefore never actually touch the floor.

Some people will tell you that they've been in the base of a rainbow, and some of those will have photographs. The scientific reasoning for this is that it's a light pattern similar to rainbows, but not an actual rainbow (Tomato vs Tomato IMO).

But then, there's also some people that will tell you they've been inside a UFO & had something done to them that the U-rating prevents me repeating. :rolleyes:

but he said it was on the move, 20-30 mph which would fit. I've watched rainbows and they do move pretty fast sometimes.

Also, the sun *has* to be behind it.

Re: They were lying to you, there's no gold at the end of the rainbow
 

Not quite, but the rainbow has to be 42 degrees from your line of sight to the sun.

Don't be so daft, it was "The Mail" :D
