what does it mean?

Although most people will not notice it because they are not actively looking for it, a dim secondary rainbow is often present outside the primary bow. Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and appear at an angle of 50–53°. As a result of the second reflection, the colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared to the primary bow, with blue on the outside and red on the inside. The secondary rainbow is fainter than the primary because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one and because the rainbow itself is spread over a greater area of the sky. The dark area of unlit sky lying between the primary and secondary bows is called Alexander's band, after Alexander of Aphrodisias who first described it.

A third, or tertiary, rainbow can be seen on rare occasions, and a few observers have reported seeing quadruple rainbows in which a dim outermost arc had a rippling and pulsating appearance. These rainbows would appear on the same side of the sky as the Sun, making them hard to spot. One type of tertiary rainbow carries with it the appearance of a secondary rainbow immediately outside the primary bow. The closely spaced outer bow has been observed to form dynamically at the same time that the outermost (tertiary) rainbow disappears. During this change, the two remaining rainbows have been observed to merge into a band of white light with a blue inner and red outer band. This particular form of doubled rainbow is not like the classic double rainbow due to both spacing of the two bows and that the two bows share identical normal colour positioning before merging. With both bows, the inner colour is blue and the outer colour is red.

I was more referencing this.

In reference to this, Auto-tune was invented to help recording artists overcome the flaws in their voices to produce pitch-perfect song performances in the studio. Just listen to any episode of Glee, or any song in the top 40, to hear how its overuse results in soulless, homogenized recordings. Auto-tune can also be used to alter spoken words so that they resound in pitch. In the last couple of years it has been widely used on YouTube to produce "songs" from raw verbage.

AS for what the appearance of a double rainbow means, three things come to mind:
1. The sun is at a 75 degree angle to rain which is refracting its rays to where you happen to be standing.
2. You're really blessed to see something so beautiful and should give thanks.
3. That God keeps His promises, including to never again flood the whole earth with water.

As for the guy in the orange onesy, I am guessing he is modeling an astronaut's long underwear? And the bowling-ball head person, you can see their chin to the right. I think he's balancing a ball on his throat, which is quite a feat (maybe culled from Russia's Got Talent, judging by the background).

A friend told me over the weekend that she's gotten so hooked on some SyFy channel show ("Haven," I think it's called) that she's started writing fanfiction again, for the first time in three years.

But yeah, Kim Possible? I just don't see it...

I didn't want to add more links because many of them are pornographic if you start looking around.

I don't need to. I've seen enough of the genre to last me multiple lifetimes. You can't imagine how much slash fanart Batty decorated her room with while she was in high school. (Actually, maybe you can....)

Now I know the one on the right is Guan Yu, but I'm not clear on whether the other two are his brothers, or other famous Chinese characters.

[mrsnull]

Is it 7 or is it 5?

Ten Brothers (Chinese: 十兄弟) is a Chinese
legend known to be written around the time
of the construction of the Great Wall of China,
most likely during the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644).
It has been told and spun off in various adaptations,
and remains popular since it is one of the oldest
Chinese legend to feature characters in a superhero fashion.
