yep, or as true as the grass is green... Why is the grass green and sky blue?

wow, you're older than I am and you don't know...*deep breath*....NERD MODE ACTIVATE!!!!

The sky is blue becasue it defracts the light into a spectrum containing every color in the rainbow. Red is on the inside, so it has the tightest curve, making it arc lower so we don't pick it up as much, while blue on the outside arcs the most, and goes across pretty much the whole sky, so we see it more. When the sun is setting, we see the colors on the inside of the rainbow because the angle is different and the red passes over us more than at a straight angle.

The grass is green because everything has a tendency to absorb certain colors of light and reflect others. In grass' case, it absorbs every color except either green or blue and red (because blue and red are on the ends of the spectrum while green is in the middle, so they even out at green), making us see the green light reflecting from it.

Some of that may be a bit wrong because I'm tired and worn out and not thinking my best, but that's the gist of it, and you probably won't even read the whole thing and ignore this post altogether, so if you did read it all, post 'Shik rocks my socks.'

......I know this because I'm a whale biologist.

no

It was because of all the drugs he took, ergo he remembered his first duel with Yugi wrong.

And you call yourselves YGO: Abridged fans. >:(

Gamefreak

No, he blames the drugs for the flashback.  Not for the hair.

Commodore Axilon

Okay, Mr. Smartypants. Why then doesn't he have green hair in the first episode?

Mysterious F.

The green hair thing was due to the unshown series of Yugioh that was only shown in Japan. Kaiba had green hair, and the series shown in America had pretty much destroyed everything of that and introduced the characters anew.

Im actually not a Yu-Gi-Oh fan at all, in any way shape or form. Reason? After Exodia became extonct, and these new monsters were more powerful than him, I thought to myself: well that's just stupid.
