Well according to the latest "research" or rather observations have revealed that if you have blue eyes you are "more likely to sparkle academically than those with brown."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-476244/Why-blue-eyed-boys-girls-brilliant.html

"The colour of your eyes could determine your achievements in life, say scientists. They claim those with blue eyes are more likely to sparkle academically than those with brown. They are more intelligent and gain more qualifications because they study more effectively and perform better in exams.

Scroll down for more...

The discovery might help explain the success of such disparate individuals as Stephen Hawking, Alexander Fleming, Marie Curie, Stephen Fry and Lily Cole.

In reaction time trials conducted by U.S. scientists, the brown-eyed performed better, making them more likely to succeed at activities such as football, hockey and rugby.

But the researchers concluded that those with lighter eyes appeared to be better strategic thinkers.

Blue-eyed boys and girls proved to be more successful in activities that required them to plan and structure their time, such as golf, cross-country running - and studying for exams.

Those highly intelligent Stephens (Hawking and Fry): New research has revealed that blue-eyed individuals may study more effectively and perform better in exams than those with dark eyes

Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History Of Time, is Britain's most eminent physicist.

Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin while Marie Curie was the first twice-honoured Nobel laureate for her work on radioactivity.

Writer and actor Stephen Fry gained a scholarship to Cambridge while model Lily Cole secured a place at King's College, Cambridge, after achieving five As at A-level.

Joanna Rowe, professor emeritus at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, who conducted the tests, said the results suggested a hitherto unexplored link between eye colour and academic achievement"

"It is just observed, rather than explained," she said. "There's no scientific answer yet." Dr Tony Fallone, senior psychology lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire, who has also studied eye colour, believes it should be taken more seriously as an indicator of personality and ability.

Most babies have blue eyes but they usually darken as the pigment melanin builds up in the iris.

Less melanin produces green, grey, or light brown eyes. Eyes with very little melanin appear blue or grey."

Alright, so I am willing to overlook this report from the "Daily Mail" but it got me thinking..how many of you have blue eyes/what is your eye colour and do you agree with this..er..findings.

Blue eyes isn't enough. You also need white skin and blonde hair. That's a recipe for success!

Don't blondes have blue eyes?
To sparkle academically it only takes hard work. Anything is achievable if you work hard for it.

Interesting article. I myself have blue eyes...and blond hair. Personally, I never thought eye color had anything to do with intelligence. My sister has brown eyes, and she's got her masters, gonna get her Ph.D shortly. I myself have not done much with my life.

So I guess it doesn't really matter.

What? How could you say such a thing?

I hate to call Godwin, but your blatant neo-Nazism will not stand!

It is obvious, from the picture, that his eyes are not blue. Therefore, that article is bull.

Gold/brown.

Studying your ass off doesn't mean you know how to apply said knowledge well in the real world, or even care to.

Oh yeeeeah!. I have the best of both worlds, now who wants my babies?.

OT: I do honestly believe that eye colour has nothing to do with academics. I know people who thought that the human penis has a bone in it and people who barely missed the Darwin awards. I also never trusted the people in college (high school for you Americans) to sit the right way on a toilet. A shocking majority of them were blue eyed loonies.

So yeah, if you look fervently in any population you'll find patterns but it means diddly.

[small]I still like the notion of my advanced green eyes though[/small]

Mine used to be blue, but they've turned gray in the past few years. I'm going to go ahead and blame that on my steady academic downward-spiral.

Not only do you need blue eyes, but you need to be of arian descent, blonde hair, a problem with your arm that keeps it in a saluting position, you must walk like a goose, you gotta shout "ZIGHEIGH!" every morning, and you must purge everyone who isn't like you.


Yup.

[sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup]If you're thick skulled, I'm making a joke. You can only read this if you're quoting me, and as such must be flaming like an idiot, stop where you are as you're wasting your time. Or you're a curious fellow, who didn't know that you can copy my text and paste it in any chat box to see what I said. ;P [/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup]
