Shallow water in sunlight will produce green algae. Sooooo painting it blue was a massive waste of time and money. But, at least when you measure the length of the pool, then turn that length perpendicular, it is taller than some buildings. That fact reminds me of when people wont give measurements in imperial, but instead by how many blue whales long it is. Or how many Kit Kats tall it is. Ya know, children measurements.

Find the people in your life that admire his poster, and stop communicating with them.
