1. Have you heard that ridiculous myth that the Ancient Greeks couldn't see the color blue?

That's not what this post is about, but it's close.

Anthropologist has determined that the Himbah people of Namibia don't have a word for the color blue, and that they consider it a variation of the color green.

They did an experiment where they gave a number of blue and green colored cards to the people participating in the experiment, and asked them to sort them in piles of green and blue. All of the subjects put all of the cards into one pile together. Then they were asked to sort the cards by whether they were the color of the grass or the color of the sky. Then all of the cards were sorted neatly into two piles of green cards and blue cards.
