MEDLINEplus: Silver Cars May Be Safest: Study: "'Our study has found an association between silver car color and reduced risk of car crash injury,' Sue Furness of the University of Auckland told Reuters Health.

'If there is a choice of vehicle color, choosing silver or white as opposed to brown, black or green may be a passive injury prevention strategy,' said Furness, who is the lead author of the report in the December 20/27 issue of the British Medical Journal.

Exactly why silver cars are less likely to be involved in injury-causing crashes is uncertain, Furness said. 'The only other study I identified which looked at car color found that white and light vehicles were associated with reduced risk of car crash injury.'"

Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
