This is some funny shit. Turn away if you're still trying to figure out this whole internet thing...
Taken off of Davezilla.com:
"The stupidest question a client has ever asked me* has got to be, "If my website is in color, won’t that use up all the ink in my monitor?" Yes, really. A coworker at GM asked the same question a few years ago, which leads me to believe that many people believe this. I’ve decided if I get asked this a third time, I am going to adopt the role of a mechanic and play along:
Client: "If my website is in color, won’t that use up all the ink in my monitor?"
Me: "Well that all depends - When was the last time you had your monitor in for a fill-up?"
Client: "I-I-I don’t know. Was I supposed to do that?"
Me: "Oh good gravy. Yes. Your mouse is probably due for a rotation as well. Every three thousand clicks or so. Keeps it running at peak performance."
Client: "I had no idea. I’m way overdue."
Me: "Jesus H. Christ. Don’t you realize what that can do to a PC? You might crack a processor and next thing you know it, you’ve yourself got a pixel leak. Email spilling all over the floor where anyone can read it. You better get that puppy in here, pronto."
*Shortly after writing this, a client: asked me, "Buy me an Internet so my secretary can show a website to our customers." No problem, killer. That’ll be $178 billion, please."

That must be why I like my site in just black and white, without too much color.
omg! My mouse it totally due for a rotation too.
