Then it had better be on the front bumper.....otherwise it's wrong AND
stupid. "Blue shift" if it's moving toward you....."red shift" if it's
moving away!

Very few bumper stickers really make you think. They are intended to
quickly communicate an opinion or a challenge to the following car's driver
or
occupant. But I saw one yesterday that, in order to understand it, you had
to
have a grasp (however tenuous) of some physics.
This sticker was white lettering on a bright red background. It read:
"If this sticker looks BLUE to you, you are driving too fast".
Then a note reading "American Physical Society". Okay it took me a moment
to kind of figure out what it meant. Think red shift and blue shift. Or
just look it up. Then you can chuckle.
I hope you are enjoying a nice holiday today. - Seth Emerson
