SOOooo....,, could there have been real Purple Rain too? :-\
Barney is Real Ping!
Purple is the color of royalty as well. but King Barney ,, what next Teletubbies? ;-)
Oxygen carrying is done by hemoglobin, chlorophyll, and the goo that crabs use for blood. Retinal—what is that?—what is in the retina of the eye?
Speaking as an optical engineer, that's the stupidest thing I've read in a long time. Does he think that the "un-utilized" photons were just rolling around on the ground, waiting for plants with chlorophyll to scoop them up?
Is this like the gorebal warming theory? Oh, not more of these unproven theories.
...And now they're coming back to reclaim it.
We're DOOMED.
You might want to add this to your ping list.
Dude, I’m playing the Sgt Schultz line. I KNow nutzing about microbes!

Now, I’d trade two Barney’s for the complete set of DoodleBops! Those freaky looking, stage creatures can dance! /h
Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)
Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)
And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head
[Clarinet solo!]
Tequila!

Yes. It's a molecule, light in, electricity out, much simpler than a chlorophyll molecule.
And chlorophyll doesn't carry oxygen like blood does. It powers a chemical reaction that breaks down CO2 and water to produce sugars for energy and O2 as a waste product.
