Because eeyore will have to tell us all again that all of the non-opaque pyramids are transparent: http://lists.looneylabs.com/pipermail/icehouse/2006-February/000418.html. (Actually, before someone else called them translucent and eeyore explained, I didn't know the difference...)
Technically (in case you were asking): Opaque - can't see through it (wall) Transparent - you can clearly make out shapes and stuff on the other side (colored glass) Translucent - light passes through, but is diffused so you can't "see" through it (covers on ceiling lights) So yeah, he's right. What's a technical term for transparent and full spectrum that's not clear? -- - |) () /\/
