          How odd - I seem to remember Paul claiming once that he also understands chocolate they way we do, but I have my doubts! Chocolate almost attains Bob status with us :)

I doubt men and women understand any single one thing the same way, but we certainly have the same chemicals in regards to chocolate.

Wether we will react differently too.

The fact that colours like green and blue relax most people doesn't necessarily mean they look the same to all of us. But how will we ever know???

                  I seem to remember being offered honorary womanhood after my comments on chocolate at some point :) Oh yeah - hi Meg :) Got any of your holiday pics online yet? I signed up to photoSIG[^] and got my first photo uploaded (restricted to 1 pic every 3 days for newbies) - I'm chuffed that it's getting a possitive response :) Through the Clock[^] -- Help me!

                    As soon as we will have better interfaces for the brain than the ones given by Mother Nature, it will IMO be possible (but desirable :confused:?)

                              The picture is really nice, however the sky is so grey in the background that I remembered this old image of two typical britishmen, talking under rain "-Nice weather, isn't it? - indeed" Just a mental image :) (in any sense :rolleyes: )

For example how can you be sure that what you see as being the colour red would actually look red when seen through your new nervous system (of course the object would still be red, but to your brain, calibrated to your own body, it may look blue or green) - I know for certain that my own eyes have a slightly different colour balance, so I see no reason why somebody else's eyes would have a balance even remotely like mine. -- Help me!

There were a few other suggestions to crop the top and bottom of the image a but - how much do you think would be needed?
