Atheist:
This video has been circulating the Interwebs for a couple of days, and aside from my hysterical laughter, the only other thing you will hear in my house tonight is “what does it mean?”
I’ll tell you what it means: that physics is still working properly.
[...] Here’s the Christian version of the double rainbow man: [...]

Effing magnets – how do they work?
They’re … Magic … yes it’s that simple
for one dats not what double rainbow means it really means like when a girl kisses another girl and then another girl comes along and kisses both of them just go on goolge and type in double rainbow-hollywood style and youll see
This guy has obviously been on the mushrooms…
And some good shrooms they were. All these moans and “oh my gods” make it sound like the soundtrack for some low budget porn movie.
I think something a little stronger, like maybe some really good acid.
I flipping could hardly see any rainbow I was looking for the lephrachaun twins
It obvious!! there is twice as much gold when you get to the ends!!!!
Everyone knows that. Of course you still have to catch the little fellow.
Wasn’t there a similar one years ago about a woman having one in her backyard.
Apparently these yahoo’s have never operated a garden hose where you can create your very own by putting your thumb over the end of the hose.
You can even touch the end of the rainbow.
Duh.
Yep, they go in a full circle. Hard to see right where it faces into the sun that’s causing the whole thing. (‘Cause the light refracts where your eyeballs happen to be relative to the sun’s position. Lotsa words for what a kid observed using a spray hose.) No end. This guy must have grown up without a lawn sprayer. Or his momma was afraid of what he would do with it.
Double Rainbow autotune! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0D4oZwCsA
Thanks for that,
I really like that one!
I’ll have what he’s having ( or rather, had).
What the hell is this guy ON? And where can I get some?!
It means two straight jackets are better than one in this guy’s case.
For a grown adult to be so awed by a totally natural and explainable phenomena, I wonder for his mental state. He obviously had some kind of epiphany over it (that wasn’t a metaphor, by the way).
Sadly, while I would stand and gaze at the beauty, and try to capture it with a camera, I would no longer have anything close to the childlike wonder this fellow displays.
Forgive me my US friends – but there is something very American about this ;)
Sounds like he is getting a blow job from god. If I knew god gave such good blow jobs, I might still have been a christian.
you just made me spit all over the computer screen……….
laughing like a fool
STFU!!!
I have seen a double rainbow before. It is an awesome sight. I think I said something along the lines of “Honey, come check this out. Pretty cool huh? OK, let’s go back inside”.
He starts to genuinely sob at the 1:40 mark. I do like the Dr. Evil laugh at the 2:35 mark.
I’ve never seen a “whole” rainbow like that, from one side to the other, so that would be neat. When I see rainbows, there are usually houses and buildings, or I’m driving somewhere so I can’t look at it for very long. When everything lines up in nature with the sun and the rain, and there’s actually a rainbow to see, and I’m out somewhere and see it, it does have a rarity to it, but yeah, nowhere near as amazed as this guy.
On the other hand, I don’t know what’s wrong with his reaction, really, except maybe he thought it was the rapture or something. Science and nature are amazing. It’s amazing that light refracts into colors, that sun mingles with rain just at such an angle every once in a while to make something so pretty for only a couple of minutes. I don’t need a “designer” or “creator” to explain things like this, but his reaction reminds me of how many beautiful natural coincidences I take for granted. We all go “whoa” when we see that picture of the light from the stars, so much so that rainbows etc. of earth are ho-hum, check it out for a second and get on with your life.
I think this is why people of faith think we are made of stone because to them, god made all of this, and while the mystery is gone for people who know the science behind it, we get too used to things and only get jazzed when we see the other side of the galaxy for the first time or something new like a giant sea creature fossil.
That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
But in a very sad sort of way.
Tripping. His. Balls. Off. Seriously.
Most people say this couldn’t have happened, but I was once walking across the parking lot of an Outback Steakhouse in Newport News, Virginia and passed through a rainbow. The thing actually grew out of the asphalt right where I was standing. I went inside and told people waiting for seats about it, and several looked out. They acknowledged that the rainbow was there, but were otherwise very ho-hum about it.
Maybe they were just disappointed that there was no pot of gold after all.
This guy doesn’t get out much, does he?
it means, he needs to lay off the weed for a bit!
Like, forever. Seriously. He never needs to partake of the ganja weed ever again.
My money’s on ‘shrooms for this one.
I saw a double rainbow on my honeymoon.
I shoulda have taken that seriously as a signal of the end of my happiness ;-)
We saw a double rainbow just like this near our house a few weeks ago. It was beautiful to be sure, but come on, this dude’s reaction is so over the top. He sounds like he was simultaneously getting his dick sucked, his butt fucked, and his nipples licked while tripping on ecstasy. I mean good grief man!
I effin’ hate hippies.
what’s YOUR problem?
Um…I don’t like hippies. I’m confused as to your confusion.
Why don’t you like hippies? I find them to be quite pleasant.
/patchouly
hippies are what the world needs.
Sounds like something done by Glenn Beck.
Along those same lines, two guys talking about the Gospel and kind of rambling:

You know, it’s weird, but a serious praise and worship or prayer meeting can induce some pretty strong feelings. I don’t know if it’s the music, lights, the intense physical exercise (endorphins?) or what. Experiencing some of those feelings *outside* of church was what started to make me question whether those experiences were really “the Spirit moving” or just human brains being funny.
Well isn’t it obvious? The gods placed their arc in the sky to let us know they would never again destroy all of mankind by flood! Or else as Edman said, that the laws of physics work.

That’s one rainbow, therefore two is a double negative and mean we should all start building boats and filling them with pairs of animals.
If I had been there seeing it, his noise would have ruined it for me. Someone’s always gotta open their big loud mouth. Couldn’t he have at least turned the sound off? (Not quite as good as turning his sound off.)
A YouTube spoof
That camera is jerking so much, I really must assume that he was masturbating after eating too many wild mushrooms. He seemed to be rather “pleased”.
Maybe he just really likes Skittles.
What it means is that you should have stopped at 5 bong hits of Da’ Kine bud!
Was this shot in Hawaii? Did he grow his own?
Hahahaha. Wow, that guy is crazier than a rat in a tin shit house. If he sobs like that over a rainbow, I would hate to see his emotional reaction to losing his job, or the birth of his child.
How pathetic!
‘physics is’? grammar fail.
How so? Physics, as it is being used in the sentence above, is an uncountable noun (being a token for the collection of, one assumes, equations, models, and observations that describe physical objects). As such, it does not obey the rules of pluralization. This sort of defective noun is common among names of academic disciplines and art forms.
physics… as in the field of physics, singular (like mathematics… the field of mathematics)
Physics is a hard class. (Physics are a hard class…? I don’t think so.)
Exactly.
I’m sure you feel pretty big in your pajamas this evening to reply to a 3-and-a-half month-old blog post from an atheist/skeptic blog with an off-topic grammar nitpick that’s not even correct. I’m sure once your mommy washes the milk mustache off your face and makes sure you go wee-wee and brush-a your teefs, she might even read you a bedtime story about how sentences start with capital letters.
Ouch.
Literacy are still working properly.
My Hero. (swoon)
:)
I don’t care how old this is, it’s gold.
I appologise if I sound like a complete twat but this guy seems very content with this beautiful offering that nature has to give. I don’t understand why people would take the piss, he may be over reacting, but he’s happy! I saw a double rainbow 2 months ago, I was going through a very rough time and seeing that made me very happy… even if it was just a rainbow. I sat and cherished this brief moment, contently and peacefully, and as sad as this may sound, it was one of the best things that happened this year. I suppose maybe this is why I’m a little sensitive about all this shit, kinda pisses me off.
Whether the guy was high or not is irrelevant… as long as he was happy during this high, is relevant.
Keep the Peace. One Love.
“WOW”
yah its a rainbow! No wait its 2 rainbows oooh ….neat? This guy is beyond euphoric…question is what did he mean? when he asked the question ‘what does it mean.’ what the hell was he planning on doing up there standing on a friggin cliff with a video camera.OOOOOR
Is he one of those guys( reference kumars visit to White Castle) that honestly wants to think everything he does is EXTREME MAN WOW. ..Please don’t mistake me I say that in a completely serious yet mocking voice even as I type… Well !@#$% I’m just as bad as he is dag nabbit. (hey can’t cus for emphasis …I’ll take what I can get.—the original traxxss (i know there is a comment in here to make fun of go right ahead…have fun;)
I take it back “he has been chosen”
Who knows,maybe this guy appreciates to see a rainbow and happily to express it.Maybe he’s emotionally satisfied or he has found the force with in him.
Long live and prosper……
WHAT KIND OF ACID WAS HE ON?
sow 2 rain bow today 4-4-12
wow
