From Wikipedia:

Quote

Complete inability to distinguish any colors is called monochromacy. It occurs in two forms: cone monochromacy, where only a single cone system appears to be functioning, so that no colors can be distinguished, but vision is otherwise more or less normal; and achromatopsia, or maskun, or rod monochromacy where the retina contains no cone cells, so that in addition to the absence of color discrimination, vision in lights of normal intensity is difficult.

While normally rare, complete color blindness (maskun) is very common in Pohnpei: about 1/12 of the population there has maskun.

It's really rare, only a small fraction of colorblind people have this condition. I remember reading about it some time ago.

I don't know... you could ask that to Ed Wood or J Edgar Hoover. But they're both dead.

He would score low in a "emotional intelligence" test, if such test exists.

And look at Forrest Gump, he had an IQ of, what, 80? And in some ways he was a genius. Well sort of.

And take ME as an example... 155 on that webpage... and I'm an idiot.

I'm pretty sure that for the Ultimate Release GL will replace Jedi Rock for a 20+ minutes Eletric Light Orchestra extravaganza, similar to the last 30 minutes in "Xanadu".

But wasn't MTV2 created to fill up that void, since the original MTV is now a crappy reality-show station?

When I read the topic, I thought he meant that lost b&w version of star wars with alternate scenes and rear-projection instead of bluscreen.

I admit I never paid much attention to pokemon, but I've never seen an animal besides pokemons. Maybe what they call a "mouse" is some sort of a specie of pokemon, the "mouse" kind, and not a mouse itself. And "electric", well they have eletricity there... The funniest thing about eating pokemons is that they are supposed to be smart/self-conscious, right? So it must be real tough to slaughter them in order to make a BBQ...

DanielB: nice answer... but the dots are supposed to have no size at all.

To avoid flooding. It was rather common in the early days of IMDB forums.

I remember when IMDB was based on amazon and had html pages instead of the cgi-bin they have today.

Actually, after inventing the modern airplane and the wrist watch he got himself into some sort of homo-erotic-depression, and slept on his table at his tree house until the day he killed himself. He didn't get a penny out of his invention.

Anyway, yes, that is the one, Darth Simon.

Actually the Wright brothers invented a flying machine whose mechanics are not used in modern day airplanes, it had no engine and the aerodynamics are based on a diferent principle. Brazillian Santos Dumont invented the first engine powered airplane that could take off by itself. He documented his first flight on silent film a few months after the wright brother's first flight - which was not filmed or photographed, and had no witnesses.

Santos Dumont also invented the wrist watch.
