->'''Calvin:''' Dad, how come old photographs are always black and white? Didn't they have color film back then?\\
'''Calvin's Dad:''' Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs ARE in color. It's just that the WORLD was black and white then.\\
'''Calvin:''' Really?\\
'''Calvin's Dad:''' Yep. The world didn't turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.\\
'''Calvin:''' That's really weird.\\
'''Calvin's Dad:''' Well, truth is stranger than fiction.\\
'''Calvin:''' But then why are old PAINTINGS in color?! If the world was black and white, wouldn't artists have painted it that way?\\
'''Calvin's Dad:''' Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.\\
'''Calvin:''' But... but how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn't their paints have been shades of gray back then?\\
'''Calvin's Dad:''' Of course, but they turned colors like everything else did in the '30s.\\
'''Calvin:''' So why didn't old black and white photos turn color too?\\
'''Calvin's Dad:''' Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?
