I think eaton's or something in canada trademarked a purplish color for their grand reopening or somesuch event. @Gunface01: Depends, how can YOU trademark a random collection of 9 letters from out of a possible however-many-big set? You're doing the same thing with even your name. It all depends on how specific you wanna be. Microsoft, for example, couldn't use "Windows" as a trademark, it was too generic, yet I believe that "Gunface01" would probably stand fast as a trademark. If I specify, down to the highest precision that I can possibly achieve, and its creation is repeatable by mixing, wouldn't that count too? It doesn't matter what you mix, does the end result "already exist" or does it "not"? @Smed: TRUE!

Every time you take a crap, you have to pay UPS $0.25 per turd. Unless you've been eating that green chutney stuff and that turns your shit that gross yellow color. Then you're fine. It’s true.
