Plus, do you believe the myth about the pot of gold and leprechauns. I love rainbows and actually seen a few-but don't believe the myth. (Not sure what science category this goes into.)

I like rainbows. They're nice.
Of course i've seen one...i wasn't aware that some people haven't.
The myth is false; there is nothing at the end of a rainbow. Why? Because rainbows don't have an end; they're actually circles. The reason we only see an arc is because, when they happen in the sky, they're too big to see the whole thing; most of the rainbow gets obscured by the horizon.

I have seen many and they are nice. I have never found the end so don't know about the pot of gold. You can make your own rainbow with a water hose on a sunny day. Put a nozzle on that you can adjust to a mist and get that mist in just right spot by moving it around in the sun light an wow there is a rainbow.

There is always a rainbow when there is rain and sunshine at the same time - just look for it
- it will be there.
In the Bible it says that God gave us a rainbow after the flood because he wanted to remind us of his promise that he would never destroy the earth with water again. Interesting. Now the rainbow has an extra thrill when I see it.

I've seen several, and yes they are pretty. However, I don't believe in the myth about the leprechauns and the pot of gold.

Is the rainbow not a pot of gold in itself??

I am going to second the 'rainbows don't have an end'
If you move the rainbow moves because its a visual effect of the rain, sun angle and your perspective...
But they are cool
