R-G-Bean

RGB is the acronym for Red-Green-Blue, the primary colors used to make all colors on old-fashioned TV sets and computer monitors. Here they are reflected on Chicago's Cloudgate sculpture in Millennium Park, a stainless steel beauty affectionately known as "The Bean".

Look closely at your old TV and you'll see all those tiny Red, Green, and Blue dots. But don't stare at them too long or you'll become sterile from the radiation!

Hah! Remember when our parents told us that to get us to back away from the TV? Did they really believe that, or was it another one of those adult hoaxes-- like, "You must wait an hour after eating before going swimming or else you'll get cramps."
