Why Black?

The other day, ME raised a question, what does the choice of blog's background and colours indicate about the blogger? Actually, there are just two major reasons why I choose the colour black as my blog's background:

The first reason I adopted from this website from its FAQ under the response to the question 'Why does your site look so shitty/Why do you use such huge fonts?'. Take note that the writer of this website has a very sarcastic sense of humour, uses extremities and obscenities very generously. You have been warned. Anyway the underlying principle is this: the computer screen is not a piece of paper. When you are staring at the computer screen, you are staring at a light bulb, or a gun (cathode ray tube). It's very damaging on your eyes. It's much more comfortable to have a black background with large fonts in soft colors. Most opticians have told me that prolonged exposure to computer screens lead to astigmatism. Well, don't find it out for yourself the hard way. You have been warned again.

The second reason is simple. I like black colour. I think it's cool. Black colour rocks, ha ha.
