delux_vivens hipped me to Ghanageek's Race and Science Fiction Standard FAQ which hits very close with a lot of the bullshit rationalizations I've heard in discussions about roleplaying and race.

The Sky's Blueness FAQ

Is the sky really blue?

Yes.

All the time? I heard that sometimes it's green.

No, it's really blue all the time.

I don't believe you that the sky is blue! How can I tell you aren't lying!
Look up.

When I look up, I see yellow, not blue! You're a lier!
No, that's your ceiling. Go outside and look up.

Sometimes the sky has white parts. It couldn't be *always* blue, could it?
Those are clouds. They float along under the sky.

What about night-time, huh?
Okay, so sometimes the sky is black...
