50 Shades of Black...
I’ve never seen fifty at once?
But near Cicero Ave and the Eisenhower Expressway, on payday at the old Hawthorne Works, many shades of black available for a fee.

That’s racist.
Don’t imagine there’s much of a market for that diamond now.

And all this time I thought a radiometer was a glass bulb with the B/W spinning paddles!
Neat stuff!

Guess it’s up to me to add the obligatory Spinal Tap reference...
Nigel Tufnel: There’s something about this that’s so black, it’s like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

That reminds me of a scene from Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation.
"That's not a light. It's a dark. You turn it on and the room actually gets darker."
- Jimmy Stewart as Mr. Hobbs

What would it be like standing in a room covered in this stuff with a small 40 watt bulb hanging in the middle...

Interesting thought experiment. I imagine one would see only the bulb glowing in an apparent void. Would probably be a bit disorienting.

Yeah, just like Donald Duck’s uncle, Gyro Gearloose, inventor of the Gloom light.

Why a diamond? One could dip a diamond in liquid asphalt and there’d be no reflections.

100% light absorption would be invisible?
Sure, it could cast a shadow and you would not be able to see though it, but I can see some great military applications.

I thought the new name for black was “colored” as in people of color.

"The mechanisms that allow heat in the atmosphere to be radiated back into space are at the heart of the global warming debate."
If the atmosphere did not retain heat at night we would all freeze to death at sunset. Not to mention fry during the day.
