    Not sure if factors like environment, schooling, access to nutrition are involved.

    Great excuse to post one of my favorite country songs:

    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYuRr_i7w1Q"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYuRr_i7w1Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

    Hazel-eyed people are smarter than all.

    Obviously this only applies to the "white" race considering all of Asia is brown-eyed.

    I had a friend in High School who was Vietnamese and she had beautiful gray eyes (and freckles).

    Brown-eyed people better at hockey and blue-eyes better at golf? Perhaps he's been wearing blue contacts:

    My guess is that proportionally, the Nazis had more blue eyes and we had more brown eyes and we kicked their ass!

    True, but one of the biggest factors in the downfall of the Nazis was the tendency of Hitler to override his advisers and implement disasterous policies. Hitler = brown eyes. On a soldier for soldier basis, the Germans did very well in WWII, especially against the USSR. Poor brown eyed leadership and the weight of numbers did them in. :D

    As millions of taxpayer dollars are spent on this study, we have people starving, killing others, dogfighting, earthquakes, flooding, fires, cancer, sickness and disease, gang violence, crazy people blowing themselves up for religion, racism, Paris Hilton in jail, Nicole Richie pregnant, Brittney putting Crest whitestrips on her kids teeth, and Heidi and Lauren aren't friends on The Hills anymore. Sheesh........


    I guess I'm just mad that I have brown eyes. ;)

    My eyes are a blue/green mix, with a 2x1mm black spec on the outer edge of the iris of my right eye. :p

    I knew a girl that had one eye half blue, half brown, split straight down the middle, top to bottom. Weird. :eek:
