I am sure he is not malicous about it. But my colorblindness has always been a great grief to me. I just overreacted a little. I CAN see the humor in the site. but i have looked for an Online test site to help explian to people what colorblindness is.
It is NOT the inability to see colors. I even had a person at the DMV not want to give me my drivers license on the basis of "if you can't see red lights....then you should not drive" I zooed! and I got my commercial license and she got a lesson in medical terminology. It did however keep me from several career choice when I joined the USAF, which I think is the cause of most my sensitivty to the issue. Aircraft mechanic? NO, you go in the warehouse or build runways.

I also fail all but the first one or two (depending on the test series).

grypin. Sorry to hear about your disabilities. Colorblindness is not my only problem either. I also have a form of dementia that sometimes causes off the wall rants and such, along with almost no short term memory. So i tend to piss people off too, even tho it's not meant that way, nor how I truely feel.

Just a crazy Focker

Oh why didn't I expect that. Sheesh. Top it all off, had the sound up high on my speakers. Fyron, that was cool.

See, if I had been at work, the speaker would have been off -- now I'll have to steam clean the computer chair. This is the second time I've concentrated on my computer screen at someone's request, and had something like that happen to me -- that's not happening again (famous Last words)

couslee, if you're really ticked off, don't try to go through the whole thing -- you'll only end up even madder at Fyron. I gotta tell you though, at work, we manufacture biopharmaceuticals with fluorescent dyes on them. We have instruments to analyze them, of course -- but we do look at them and make a guess as to their quality.

One of our scientists was colorblind -- samples looked different to him than to the rest of us, but I don't think he let that get him down. He could make as good a judgement on them as any of us.

Take care.

There is no 666 on the Last one. What are you talking about? Which colors comprise the 666?

Couslee, I apologize if this offended you. It was not my intention to make fun of anyone with color blindness. I would never make fun of someone for being colorblind, or in a wheel chair. It was only meant as a joke.

There was no 666 on the Last one. It was just a wavy pattern that did not have any definite number. The ending was quite shocking! I'm sure Fyron did not have any bad intentions for posting it; it was a joke!

Likewise, I saw no 666 on that Last page.

I'm suprised Geo didn't tell you that you suck! But since he didn't I will... Fyron... You suck!
