The message from WM contains these words:

Are the paints miscible?

[Stephen Howard]

Apparently not...it seems that someone gave him a hammer which comprised a right handed head on a left handed handle. Spent 48 hours bashing his knees into a bloody pulp before he finally figured out the problem.

Only with your eyes shut (which is probably preferable!)

Don't be silly! Mixing it gives you pink paint. You have to *not* mix it - like marble cake.

Doing it really well, like a professional, is getting thin stripes with no (well not much) pink. Do post URLs of piccies of your striped walls. ;-)

depends how well you mix it.

wot I want to know, how do they get those toothpaste tubes to emit striped toothpaste?

[Ophelia]

Cos they don't stir it up innit?

[Tom]

No, you dopey bugger, you get pink, however if you use oil based white and acrylic based red, then you get the striped paint.

[Tom]

Very carefully..

[robertharvey]

'fluence.

There are teams of trained swamis in trances beneath the production line. Half of them think red, and half of them think white. When the tubes pass through the overlapping khamic fields, interference patterns (c.f. newton's fringes) get trapped in the paste.

Obvious, really.

The message from Kate Dicey contains these words:

loaded as stripes and since there's no stirring, it comes out as stripes. I've even seen "seconds" with squidged up stripes.

[Brian Sharrock]

Nah ... it's seasonal workers! During the summer they work in 'rock' factories churning out 'Blackpool'; 'Brighton"; 'Skegness' etc; come Autumn they are redeployed at the toothpaste factories. You know it makes sense.

The message from [e-mail] contains these words:

All the pictures I've seen of Newton show him without a fringe.

[Peter Scales]

In message , Brian Sharrock writes

Chap goes to a rock factory in Great Yarmouth and asks for a job.

"Have you got any experience?" "Yes, I used to do Blackpool rock. I can do seven miles a day." "Seven miles a day! Blimey! Tell you what, pop back in the afternoon."

The prospective employer thinks that seven miles a day is a bit exaggerated so calls the Blackpool manufacturer.

"Is it true what Bloggs says, he can do seven miles of rock a day?" "Oh yes, he's a cracking worker. But we had to let him go, you know." "Why was that?" "We had a bit of a disagreement, and I tell you, you try selling seven miles of rock with 'Bollocks!' written through it!"
