Actually, the spanish word "colorado" is used to mean "to have color" and is usually associated with things having a red hue to them (i.e. people who are red in the face from being agry or that are blushing).

Just to make sure I recalled that right, I grew up speaking spanish, I cross checked it at:
http://www.diccionarios.com/index.p...iccionario=dgle

(one of the better free sites for castillian spanish to english, french, or catalan).

EDIT:
However, the more I look the more it appears that the word, when looked up in the Spanish to English dictionaries, comes up as "red". So, there is something to the original statement. I am pretty certain that in normal conversation one would not refer to things that are red as "colorado/a".

Hey, everything was prefaced with an attribution to source for a reason. :p

I'm close to hitting 600 total posts, and most of them have been in this thread.
What a surprise.

WOW...

and even the 1000000 post won't feel that good. :)

2215

Why won't the 100000 feel that good?

2216

Since I'm one of the few people up this late, maybe I should pick up the slack a bit and post here for a while?

2217

Maybe it would screw up PF's data for a day?

2218

I still think it's crazy

2219

You go to work and when you come back, there are hundreds of posts to this thread.

#2230~Today in History:

1934 Bonnie and Clyde are killed by police

Famed fugitives Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker are killed in a police ambush near Sailes, Louisiana. A contingent of officers from Texas and Louisiana set up along the highway, waiting for Bonnie and Clyde to appear, and then unloaded a two-minute fusillade of 187 bullets at their car, killing the criminal couple.

Bonnie Parker was 19 years old when she met Clyde Barrow while visiting her husband in a Texas jail. Barrow, serving time for burglary, obviously made quite an impression on Parker, because she smuggled a gun, taped to her thigh, into prison to help him escape. He was eventually caught in Ohio and brought back to prison. When a personal appeal from his mother to the Texas governor earned his release in 1932, he vowed never to return.
Bonnie and Clyde teamed up shortly thereafter. After Bonnie was caught stealing a car, she had to spend three months in prison, while Clyde went on a robbery spree. He then killed a sheriff and deputy at a barn dance in Oklahoma. In the fall of 1932, the pair spent their time carrying out small-time robberies throughout Texas and Oklahoma. At one such robbery, they picked up W. D. Jones, a gas station attendant, who joined their team for the next 18 months. Buck Barrow, Clyde's brother who was recently pardoned by the new Texas governor, Ma Ferguson, also joined the gang.

For some reason, the media latched onto Bonnie and Clyde, who were nicknamed "Suicide Sal" and "Texas Rattlesnake," respectively. The pair loved the attention, posing for snapshots with their arsenal of weapons. In early 1934, they barely escaped a trap in Missouri, killing two lawmen in the ensuing shootout. Buck and his wife, Blanche, were shot and captured, but Buck died from his wounds. Texas Ranger Frank Hamer finally caught up with Bonnie and Clyde in May, after tracking them for more than three months.

Today, Bonnie and Clyde have an unwarranted reputation as charming Robin Hoods, mostly due to the sympathetic personalities portrayed in the 1967 classic movie Bonnie and Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
