Dear Maxx:
Don't get too carried away with those "X's", OK?

Dr. Stupid is puzzled by this question. Then again, my head is an empty plastic egg, so it doesn't take much to confuse me. I must make some assumptions and answer them one at a time in hope that one or more of the answers given are correct.

On this attempt, I will assume that you are using crayons. I am guessing that someone has swapped the label of your "brick red" Crayola for the label on your "Blue". In which case, I would suggest you get new crayons or some new friends. By the way, don't eat paint chips, OK?

On this attempt, we'll assume you are wearing sunglasses with rose-colored lenses. In which case, the sky will definately have a red hue to it. This is normal. Remove the sunglasses and look up towards the sky again. Do you notice a difference in colors?

Lastly, this might be of an urgent nature, and sometimes email just isn't sufficient. I am guessing that a huge load of bricks is falling from above and is obscuring your normal view of the sky and is hurtling downward under the influence of gravity. In which case, RUN!!!!!!

Sometimes the internet is not the best method for asking questions.
