Eye See You
Apparently there are people out there among us just walkin' around with two different color eyes. Interesting, huh? And today is their day! So Happy Heterochromia Iridium Day! Having two different colored eyes comes from each eye having different levels of melanin (pigment) in them. And technically your eye color can change over time if suddenly your eyes start to produce more or less melanin, so watch out! This also explains why my kittens have pretty blue eyes now, but sadly they will turn into boring brown eyes when they get bigger. I sure hope Luke doesn't all of a sudden start making a bunch of melanin. I would be crushed if his eyes ever changed :( So the question I have for you is do any of you out there have two different color eyes or do you know anyone that does? I would have to say no to both of those questions. At least on a personal level, but click here for a slide show of a few celebrities that have this trait. Who knew?!
Missing from the slide show is David Bowie, who technically has two different colored eyes, but only because one is permanently dilated from an injury. Wow, if there was one person on the planet that didn't need any extra trait like that to make them any creepier than they already were, it's gotta be him. Labyrinth, I tell you. It's all because of dumb Labyrinth! Well, that and his crazy cheekbones. And his singing. And his teeth. And his weird hair. And most of the clothes he ever wore. And his accent. And Little Drummer Boy. But other than that, I can handle him.
