Hey yo' all! I thought you might be interested to know why are barns usually painted red?
Answer: Centuries ago, European farmers used a type of oil-paint, which comes from linseed. It wasn't just a long-lasting paint, but it dried and hardened fast. Now, why is it red? The answer is ferrous-oxide, or otherwise known plain ol' rust. Added to the oil-mixture, it shielded the wood from moss, mold and many fungi, protecting the barn from decaying. How is that for a piece of trivia?
Thanks Zsuzsa, that i very useful bit of info. How did you come up with it. I would love to know more.
I watched a show about paint on History Channel last night so that's how I learnt about red barns and other interesting paint related things. If you want to know more, go to http://people.howstuffworks.com/question635.htm
The history channel is the shit, i love that crap. The most boring, useless info can be so interesting to learn about on that channel.
