Try getting a colorblind person to rate your abstract painting...

I'd love to call him round and ask him to "spot the difference", but he's moved back to Uni.<br><br>Hang on though, is it wrong that I'm making fun of my best friend's handicap?

Humor can be a coping mechanism. I know I use it for that, anyway.

[Dr. Doog]

making fun of people can be a coping mechanism too, but it's a lot more fun when you make fun of somebody and are secure.

Very few humans lack cones completely (or is that rods), most cases of colour blindness is simply the inability to distinguish between red and green, for example (the most common, though I think it's green/blue colour blindness that also exists without being uncommon), so that green appears red or red appears green, etc.<br><br>The majority of colour blind people have better colour vission than a dog, say, which pretty much see in monocolour (forget which colour, however), since they can see two of the three colours.<br><br>...I did some research into colour blindness for a HND project, aheh <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

*is glad he did not enhereit his father's colour blindness* [red/green IIRC]

[Dr. Doog]

/me refrains from making a joke about the word rod and people not having them

[Rooster]

Well he knows we all tease him about it. Just like they tease Max for going bald, Dave for being 6.5 and ginger, Sam for never going out, Gordon for being a pissartist, me for being emo and reading cartoons, Johnst for being a stoner, Greg for being small, etc, etc.<br><br>It's just his thing. The only downside is that me being Emo, or Max being bald doesn't make it illigal for us to drive or give us reduced employment oppertunities.

The drunks I've known never had any appetite for food until sober. The potheads, on the other hand...

[Dr. Doog]

can't see the traffic lights, but you can still learn which is which and I thought they would let you drive that way...
