I think we shall agree that we probably wouldn't notice the difference between any of them and €2 make-up too :P

Oh boys. Where did I say I was buying it for men to notice? You're all so self absorbed :pac:

Sure 10% of men can't even tell the difference between red and green, I think it's safe to say these things were not developed with male appreciation in mind!

Not materialistic, but God do I need a job.

Considering a lot of the driving I've seen this percentage is definitely much higher for women

The gene for coloured vision resides in the X chromosome so if men have a faulty one, they are screwed whereas women have the second X chromosome so that makes up for the lack of the gene in the first.

Therefore, there is an estimated 10% men who suffer colour blindness compared to ~1% of women.

Just FYI, d'ju know. :pac:

That just means we have science to blame but women only have themselves :pac:

A girl I know has written off two cars, and her insurance still manages to be lower than mine, and I've never had an accident. Madness.

Its actually believed to be a step up in evolution since we(humans) have a higher rate of colourblindness than our monkey cousins. People who suffer from less severe degrees of colourblindness are better able to distinguish camoflaged objects.

So, men are a more sophisticated creature than women. :P

Don't get that, there's HP Pavilion G6 series in PCWorld going for €479 and €499 for the AMD and Intel vesions respectively. Got the Intel version last night after spending an hour deciding which one to get. The Core i5 is better than the Core i3, it has more ram and more storage space.

Nah, need a dedicated graphics card for gaming like and they have integrated ones. On second thoughts, this seems better

The thing is, we aren't meant to have covered those chapters. We've covered most of "The Study of Life" section and a chuck of "The Organism" section (covers circulatory system, respiration system, lymphatic system, etc.) but we haven't touched "The Cell" section. I just got extremely bored when I was meant to be studying the other section and read up on the parts of Biology that interested me, which happens to be genetics.

I could be pedantic and say its more complex than that, but I'm in a blissful state where I've forgotten everything from my exams last week so I won't even try go into it :P

Does a person count as materialistic junk?

Don't tell her I said that

PseudoFamous · 04-01-2012 4:38am

Right, I'm going to buy two pairs of shoes tomorrow, and I need some help from you fashion savvy people (I.e., girls).

For the first pair I'm probably going to buy a pair of them flatsoled nikes or kswiss that were somewhat fashionable 3/4 years ago, because I'm a bit of a scumbag at heart. Don't comment on these or my scumbaggery.

Now, this is where your critical opinions come in, women and fashionable men. What are the second pair going to be? They have to be semi-casual (that being just about classy enough to get you into a disco, but not classy enough to fit in in a business meeting) and preferably white. And they must go well with lightwashed jeans, because I have three pairs of those. No real price range, just less than 90€. I will owe one (1) minor favour to anyone who can help me. Thanks in advance.

Note to you purty mods: I looked for a suitable thread, and I could not find one. And the fashion and appearance forum scares me, and they probably advise me something hideous and for old men.

Grindylow · 04-01-2012 2:14pm

Get a pair of converse! They're like the most unreal shoes you can wear, and everyone loves them! The hi-top ones are rather disgusting though so get the normal sized ones.. And don't get them in black because it's too plain.. get some colour that matches the jeans!

Not anymoreeeeee! It is with the hi top ones cos they're fairly clothe-y material but the normal shoe like ones are grand :P

JamJamJamJam · 04-01-2012 2:46pm

Converse are awesome :P I think they're pretty comfortable, but maybe that's just becuse I personally don't like shoes having too much support anyway. Chunky shoes are okay, but they have two faults: they're clumsy and they're not converse :P

Junk I Want: Slow Show's toothbrush.

I wear converse/vans constantly and they haven't gotten any better with water. A bit of rain is grand but if it's lashing your feet get drenched and they rub off you like there's no tomorrow.

They're comfy as hell though so I still live in them.

Really? :eek: I've got 2/3 pairs of the low normal sized ones, and 2 of the pairs would get drenched outside but ones I got for Christmas have been good so far outside! I dunno whether they're different or not but they're not soaking up water like the other 2 pairs!
