Trying to choose between Stanky Bean and Bank Butt.

At some point, we've all wondered about the incredibly strange names for paint colors. Research scientist and neural network goofball Janelle Shane took the wondering a step further. Shane decided to train a neural network to generate new paint colors, complete with appropriate names. The results are possibly the greatest work of artificial intelligence I've seen to date.

I'm going to paint my house "Stargoon"!!

If this is an example of "artificial intelligence" in action, tell me again why I should embrace the move to autonomous cars.....

Stoner blue!

Two weeks ago I had my house painted. It's Bunflow with white trim.

Paint is the reason I built a brick house; well, brick veneer and I didn’t lay the brick either I hired out that job. Sometimes it is worth the money to have someone else do the work.

I thought it was to provide maximum protection against The Big Bad Wolf after you saw what happened to your neighbors who had built their houses out of sticks and straw....

If I was worried about the big bad wolf or anyone else blowing down my house I would do something more than brick veneer. Brick veneer is better than straw, but it is not the protection that some think it is. A strong house would be steal frame with heavy gauge steal sheathing.

The way to deal with the wolf would be my 12 gauge, but Sue would drag me into court for violating the wolf’s right to eat people.

I'd go with Bank Butt. I think an entire house painted with Stanky Bean would quickly become a neighborhood curiosity.

The vinyl siding on my house (which I did myself) is closest to Sand Dan.
I call the color "Tan".

At least it's not "Turdly"

Close, but no cigar.
