    Thank God I don't live in Alabama any more. After 5 years I found that everyone in the town where I lived was a stereotype.

    I always thought rainbows had no ends, that they never touched the ground

    @Tyler Watkins: I remember hearing that too. Well, not that it didn't touch the ground, but that you had to be at an angle or something in order to see the rainbow, which meant that as you approached the end it would move.. or something like that. Guess we were wrong!

    @Tyler Watkins: You were correct. Rainbows don't touch the ground, which is why this image is a fake. It's amazing how many news articles there were on it back in February.

    @salviati: you can clearly see it goes through the road and continues, and it's radiating light shines through the pavement, allowing all to see further proof that this is not the end.

    From the air, you can see rainbows as a full loop. Taking a trip down to Grenada, I saw one bright and clear at the edge of a storm system. My kingdom for a photo of that.

    @justinpe: What is the official rule for what counts as "the beginning" versus "the end" of a rainbow? Clearly someone at Giz has the rulebook on this subject.
