I have a strange soft piece above my left eye, where there should be hard skull bone. Like cartilage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Ah Ha! I finally thought of something. I can here frequencies that other people can't (like some of you people). Some frequencies that I here can be 10 times louder than a normal person would here them (figured all this out because I got my hearing tested). Like car brakes. When I here a squeaky car brake, it feels like somebody is stabbing my ears with a needle. Or electronics. --- |

I'm slightly red colorblind in my left eye. Its not usually noticeable throughout the day since I guess the right eye makes up for it but right when I wake up if I close one eye and then change to the other it is very noticeable. Its sort of fun to see things in two different ways. |

I try to use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling in my posts. Quite a few people do this, but there are so many who don't! My psychiatrist has convinced me I am NOT one of the invading Martians. Excuse me, I have to go write a letter to Bush to warn him of the invading Martians.

I remembered something else; I can hear when a television is on nearby, regardless of whether the sound itself is muted. It's a sort of high-pithced "buzz", though it's not really sound. I'm not sure if this is actually unusual or not, though? -- |

I can. Some people can't. It's just a high-pitched sound that TVs make. Not including LCD monitors though... |

I can't hear it. Of course after multiple ear infections and two reconstructive ear surgeries, I'm just glad I can hear anything.

I can hear when a TV is on. It's really annoying! Just one of the reasons I don't watch TV (on a TV) anymore. Oh, and one time I was walking around inside The Sharper Image (a store). They had a rat repellent of some sorts that generated a high pitched noise. I was able to hear the noise and it drove me insane. Does that make me a rat?

I'm not sure if this is actually unusual or not, though? It's not. It just means you haven't lost the higher frequencies of your hearing yet. It's driven me nuts a couple of times these last couple of weeks (sitting in electronics labs full of old CRTs = pain)... -- |

I suppose I should make a quick list of things I can hear on a regular basis: Street Lights, Incandescent Lights (barely), Fluorescent Lights, CRT Monitors (VERY well), LCD Monitors (barely), dimmer switches (the closer to off, the louder they are), Neon Lights (VERY well), Toasters, Power/Telephone Lines, Power Transformers (VERY well). Also, if I turn my back to a CRT monitor, I can tell what colours are being displayed by the tone I hear. If the tone sounds flat, the colours are mostly uniform. If the tone is distorted, there's a lot of colour differences. (Like white text on a black screen.) Blue guns sound the highest pitched to me, followed by red, then green. I hear a white screen the best and a black screen the worst. I think it's not the electricity I hear, but rather electrical resistance. The more fluctuations in power a device has, or the more power is being resisted, the easier it is for me to hear it. And I almost forgot. I have pointed ears. (Not Vulcan ears, but rather, there are specks of extra cartilage protruding horizontally from each of my ears, thus making the edges look a little rugged.) --- Kris Asick (Gemini) --- Kris Asick (Gemini) |

Street Lights All of these contain intrinsically noisy (and yes, I'm talking about acoustic, not electrical, noise) transformers or ballasts. Kris Asick said: Toasters, Power/Telephone Lines, Power Transformers And these (transformers in particular) have a tendency to give off the regular old 50 (or 60, depending on where you live) Hz hum due to magnetostriction. Kris Asick said:
dimmer switches (the closer to off, the louder they are) This is an artefact of the dimmers' switching. Kris Asick said: Also, if I turn my back to a CRT monitor, I can tell what colours are being displayed by the tone I hear.
Also a switching noise issue, but at a much higher frequency (my CRT sometimes goes into noise mode and does that as well - Wikipedia and Slashdot have distinctive noises
