Well, they'd certainly see RGB-synthesized colors as something, just not entirely the same thing, and an object shown on a computer screen that looks realistic to us won't necessarily look realistic to an animal with different color vision.

The human body can only digest 1 milligram of gum at a time, and takes 209 years per milligram.

Way to not read the thread.

Gum stays in your stomach for like 7 years or something.  It just keeps building and building up.
Incorrect, you'll crap it out after a few days. It'll be intact(it's not dissolved by your stomach acid, or absorbed by your small intestine), and it'll probably hurt like hell.
There was a Cracked.com article with it, along with that shaving one.

Speaking of brown eyes, I've yet to confirm this, but I heard that brown eyes are the only eye color native to Homo sapiens. All the others are the result of our interbreeding with Homo neanderthalensis.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Consider it a clarification, then, as a lot of people think "colorblindness" means literally being unable to see the colors in question, as opposed to simply seeing them differently or with fewer unique components.

Fact: Stupid fake facts are not automatically clever, even if they involve pop culture references.

Except I never once mentioned colorblindness.
