The disenchantment of blue eyes...

I just learned in my neuroscience class that blue eyes aren't nearly as enchanting as I once thought. My apologies to those who have those baby blues, but your eyes are seriously deficient in a pigment producing cell called a melanocyte. I don't have much room to speak coming from my green eyes with their only marginal amounts of melanocytes, but now when I stare into my husband's and my son's beautiful blue eyes, I am so grateful that I am not reliant on them to hunt down our food in an equatorial region where their eyes would be uselessly flooded with stray light.

1. Who's going hunting for little Mexican girls??? Mayka, ask Clint about that one...

2. At least Nick has his beebee gun to hunt with. He's the one who broke my sling shot and still hasn't fixed it.

3. is this true of colored contacts. What might pink contacts result in?
