  • Tell Me Something I Don't Know

    No, really. Tell me something I don't know.

    I'll start.

    David Bowie, from a distance, appears to be heterochromatic (have eyes of different colors). But he really doesn't; both eyes are blue. As a kid he was injured in a fight and one pupil is permanently dilated, giving the impression that the injured eye is darker.
