Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: Does the sunset look strange to you? It looks like the sun is in front of the poles we're passing. What would cause that?
me: Uhhh...refraction? Light bending around objects, maybe.
Brenda: No, it's not that. It's probably more like I'm seeing an after-image on my retinas. I don't know.
me: You don't know but you're sure I'm wrong.
Brenda: Yeah.
me: So you don't have a single clue as to what is causing this phenomenon but you can be certain of one thing - I'm wrong.
Brenda: Now you've got it.
