Everytime you smell something really bad, like dog poop. Actual pieces are going up your nose, which you eventually swallow. You smell dog poop by eating it via your nose.


Also I think some of the facts should be explained if you can

What colors you see is different then what everyone else sees

its only called colorblindess when what you see is abnormally different

also those affected with CVD, Color Vision Deficiency can see certain patterns easier because there is less light. For example, the Army found color blind individuals can spot camo patters easier

Woah, you just like, blew my mind right there. o_O

Are you saying that everything I have established in my mind as the right color could be completely wrong and I would never know it?! O-O


Oh, and just to be on topic, Elephants can't jump. (but that's probably obvious. ^^;)

lol'd

anyway yea, Zelda, some guy had a whole theory on it.
Also, since your a girl the chances of you being colorblind is very slim, so I'll have to assume that the uploaded picture looks like a bunch of dots. To me I can clearly see the word no. Its a reverse colorblind test.
