Then I don't know why you call it an ice bow, link to a picture with "sundog" in its name, and reply to a message telling you it's a sundog that it's actually an ice bow. But you're right, you're free to call it whatever you want.

That can't be it then, as I'm actually French.

Then you should know better. 
I found at least three names for it, sun dog didn't nearly describe it properly since most images of those don't show the colours of the rainbow, hence 'ice bow', which is an accepted name.

Probably, but I'm as stubborn as can be.
As far icebow vs sundog vs other names...I don't know enough about the distinction to carry this conversation further.
BTW, I've found the pictures I had taken. How does one embed a link to an image here on CP if it's not hosted on some public location?

Well, a link has to be public to be readable from CP anyway, so all you can do is put them on photobucket or some such.

I'm guessing Chris is deliberately not allowing people to upload images directly to CP.

Congrats.  I've seen 22* halos and sundogs a few times but am zero for thirty*mumble* years on seeing any of the upturned arcs that can form at the same time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For every action, there is at least one point of "possible" failure. So, yes.

It's been 300 years OriginalGriff, and no one has proved Newton to be wrong (apart from when talking about very small mass or very fast speed; nearly equal to speed of light), ever. So for every action, every action, there is an equal and opposite force; malfunction or function what-so-ever, there is. Sometimes we call it a discovery, or a bug (reference to your last "Thought of the day").

If the theory of a multiverse is true, then yes, by definition, it must be, in some reality.
Not in ours, since your actions proved to give a result. Had there been a malfunction, the question would not have reached us.

No. The malfunction is in the same direction as the action (hence they cancel each other out), an opposite malfunction would lead to greater success.
From this we can see that all action is a waste of time and should revert to that other thingy - something about remaining at rest.
