It's funny to think about it, but if he had say so, and the msn would have told you it's a lie, who would you have believed? your benevolent news sources, let me guess, it depends on how retard you are 
.
Its lie though because sky doesn't have any colour at all and the visible colour depends on which light is scattered more at the time while we see it and that is why there is no colour at all at the night time..By the way sky has purple colour too, has anyone saw it?
