Forgive me for playing. It's Friday night and I'm bored. :bored

Not much happening, so I thought I'd try this poll thing out and see if it worked.

I hope it doesn't crash the board or something. Sometimes it's the little dumb thing that wreak havoc. Pardon me Psyc, for testing it out.

Thanks for indulging me.

:thanx

Cool! I voted, and now it's telling me I voted already. No one can vote twice. Keeps it scientific, you know.

I'm getting a beer now.
:cheers

Interesting that you added color blind. Seems that most would not think of that.

I probably wouldn't have either, but I was hiring a crew of people to run CAT 5e wiring and I was told that one of my applicants had been working in this field until they realized he was colorblind. Couldn't distinguish the wires of certain colors, so his work was always getting re-done by others.

They just thought he was sloppy, but as soon as they found out they had to let him go. I was surprised he listed this reference. I would have never known. He could talk the talk, but I'm sure glad I didn't give him a chance to 'walk the walk". What a nightmare that would have been.

This just might be interesting. I heard of a study once that could tell much about your personality by your favorite color. I'll see if I can find it.

Noticed you didn't put Brown in there, but that is okay because I voted for Red anyway. Red is considered a very strong buying color. If you don't believe that, next time you are in the store check out the color of different products on the shelf. 3-M and Kodak come to mind....

My favorite color is black but that wasn't an option, so I went with blue.

Very interesting Eric. When I joined the military as a communictions/electronics technician, we had to go through eye testing to ensure we weren't colour blind because of the colour coding on wiring and electronic components. Seems odd that someone would already be working in the field and not know they were colourblind. Hope he found a new line of work.

My favourite colour is black (for clothing) but I chose green. My favourite for decorating is the family of browns but green is just as good. Anything that's nature's colours.

Hmmmm. I wonder if I can edit the choices to add brown or black. I don't know why I didn't. I'm partial to brunettes. I even married one ;-)

Maybe I neglected brown because I've always considered it a color created by mixing three others. Not so much a color as it is an indicator of too many in one bucket.

I've always been told white is the aggregate of all colors (blows my brown theory out of the water, doesn't it?) and black as the absence of color.

Sorry I left them out.
