Ask An Obscure Question.

I really hope this doesn't turn into a joke thread. I'd like to keep the questions serious, if at all possible.

In this thread, you can ask any weird or obscure question that's always plagued you. Who knows...maybe someone will know the answer!

Here are my questions:
1. Do blind people care what their partner looks like?
2. What is the origin of mayonnaise? (I've always wondered about that. I mean, did someone actually think, "Hey, I'll bet egg whites, oil and vinegar would taste really great together!" or was it an accidental discovery?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well if I was blind... I'd want a virgin! Cause I think that's all that would really matter if you couldn't even see her (body-wise). And the mayonnaise... I have no clue.

I had a friend who's training to be a professional chef, but before she started she was extremely interested in weird historical facts about food. We had a long discussion about mayonnaise once, because I too thought it was an odd creation and we had been doing emulsifiers in chemistry and she told me the story - basically it was made by the French chef of a duke who was preparing a feast after the duke's victory - I think he was to serve something with a sauce made of cream and eggs but since there was no cream he had to find a substitute - so he used oil. I think vinegar was added as a preservative at a later date.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow. I really didn't expect that question to get answered. That's so cool that you knew that.

Anyway, I sincerely hope that chef was beheaded for his offense against the poor, unsusupecting duke.

wishfire and I were just discussing this morning...

What's up with liquor making techniques? I mean, did Mexicans just point at a buries cactus 3 times the size of a man and say, "Simon compadre! Let's make some fire-water out of it!"?

What the fuck?

Why is it that even on a major, 8-lane interstate, whenever a cop has someone pulled over, all other traffic feels the need to slow down? Do they really think the cop is going to jump back in his cruiser and chase them down? Isn't that the one time you know you could speed, because most likely the one cop in the area is occupied with someone else?

It's called rubbernecking - everybody wants to slow down and see who got owned. The same thing happens with traffic accidents, no matter how minor. Sometimes traffic backs up for miles due to just stupid rubbernecking.

I remember this episode of Nip/Tuck where this blind man and blind woman were on a date and sitting at a table. Later the man gets up and walks towards the bar and asks a guy standing there if the woman he was with was good-looking or not, or if she had big tits.

I thought "What a dumb fuck." Anyway, I'm pretty sure blind people don't care since they can't take in visual stimuli like everyone else. They wouldn't fret over their partner's looks 'coz they'd probably be more interested in how they care for one another then anything else.

That's what I reckon anyway.

To take this a step further, I've always wondered if different people see colors differently. What I see as yellow might be what someone else sees as blue, for example. We all call them the same thing, but how do we know we see the same thing?

OK, try to follow me. Now this might get tricky, so pay attention.

It's a stretch, but someone might know someone who is blind.

There is always the "speak text" command

And I can only assume there are braille keyboards... but I digress...

My question is as follows -

With so much spring water being bottled and consumed all the time, do you think that someday we will run out of spring water?

Most likely we all see the same thing.
Our retinas work in the same way. They respond to specific wavelengths in the same manner as everyone else. Except for color-blind people, who have damaged cones on their retinas.
Generally, those people who are partially colorblind either see nothing of that specific color, or, if it is a mixture of various colors, then they see the wavelengths minus the ones they cannot see.
For those people who are fully colorblind, they pretty much see everything in shades of grey. :-\ It sucks to be them.

Considering that most "spring water" is legally require to contain all of 3 drops of actual spring water to avoid false advertising, I don't think we're going to run out anytime soon.

If you're not drinking filtered bottled water, you might as well go get a drink from the tap.

I hear some women see a bit more reds and oranges than men. I know that doesn't really count as seeing something different, more like seeing more. But.. it's interesting anyways.

Don't you mean our question? ;_;

And while most may not have answers, it would be nice how some random Russki looked at a potato and decided to get sloshed off of it. Or corn, or..well, another other random ingredient used for any given alcohol.

But certainly would be nice to know.

Whenever my kitty Pippin sees me reading he always jumps up into my lap and looks up at me and wimpers until I start reading to him. And interestingly enough, I've found that he reacts differently to some books than to others, such if it's espionage or fantasy he's more likely to curl up and fall asleep where as if it's horror he just sits around for few paragraphs and wanders off. Yet when he's scratching at the rug and I start yelling at him I might as well be telling a fish to walk on land.

So what I'm wondering is if cats really do understand what you're saying and only give a damn when it benifits them, or if they don't really get it at all, or if it's somewhere in between, like they understand the tone but not really much else.
