Or so the Germans would have us believe...

How does eye color have anything to do with the authorship of fairy tales?

My eye color depends on many factors (apparently) . Normally brown , they used to turn more golden with flecks of green color in winter . I live in Phoenix area now so winter has less effect now . Could be a reaction to cold or lower light levels . Wife says they turn an ominous "All Black" when I am angry/upset . Can't verify that ... Now I am wondering if people with AS symptoms have better than average eyesight (as I do).

From what I understand, the brothers grimm did NOT write fairytales!! !! They COLLECTED them!

Hans Christian Andersen was a famous DANISH writer! BTW for what it is worth, the Danish are peaceful, against the NAZIs, and not even crazy about the germans.

This is a close-up of my left eye, which I consider my interesting eye because of the patch of brown:

wow, your eyes are really kool!! :D that's interesting how they changed colors like that.. i didn't know color change like that was possible.. but, i suppose that's because i've never experienced anything like that... just like this one time in high school, i was talking about how my hair changed color as i got older, and there were some black girls at my table that were amazed, cause they didn't know hair could change color naturally like that, except going grey or white when you get old.. because it doesn't happen for them. (i went from dark brown to bright blond back to brown :lol: )

WOW, your hair changed BOTH WAYS!?!? Usually it just gets darker(from what I heard anyway). As for eye color, MINE used to be blue also. I never knew eye color could change based on mood though. WOW! And Nicky. YOUR eyes are cool too. :lol: I think you know that. They REALLY stand out in your avatar.

Wow. There have been so many beautiful and wondrous pictures of eyes on this thread... So many that have been so amazing... But, after all is said, I must say that grey rules.

That sounds like a winning combination, to me. :)

Personally, I like others with brown eyes oftentimes. They seem reflective except I cannot look directly into another's eyes.


I do, too. Women like Winona Ryder or Jeanne Tripplehorn are appealing because of this, imho. I wonder if it's the illusion of having really large pupils? Supposedly, dilated pupils are an indicator of interest, and thus appealing.
