eye questions

Q: If you have two different coloured eyes, what do they list your eye colour as on your passport and drivers license? For instance, Kate Bosworth. Two different coloured eyes. And clearly she travels a lot, given she's an actress and a model. So she must have a passport.

I suggested that perhaps they used whatever hand you were. So, if you had a right eye that was brown, and a left eye that was blue AND you were right handed, perhaps they would say you had brown eyes???? What do you think?

Also, I wonder what kind of impact this has on people who aren't as famous as Kate. So little multi-eye-colour Jane Doe crosses a border with a green-eyed passport but really has one blue eye too, what do they say? Do they let you pass????

I think they would give you a blue/brown or blue/green ect if you were a two eye coloured person. but then..... what if you wore one colour contact to match them... ???? I knew a girl with two different coloured eyes when I was little, she was my counsellor at summer camp... if i still knew her I would ask to see her passport to put an end to all this wondering.

hello e.

'fraid i don't know you, but i found yer bloggish thing through reading kims, and have found it quite entertaining. anyhow. wikipedia has an interesting article on this subject (apparently known as heterochromia), but it neglects to begin speculation on passport iris-colour categorization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia

also, on the subject of strange physical anomalies, what do you think it means if a person has a second toe (the 'pointer' of the toe world, if you will) that is longer than the first? just yesterday i read on the internet that people with longer second toes are much more likely to become werewolves than us folks with more common toe-length distribution. incidentally i happen to quite like this girl who posesses this attribute. naturally i'd like to find out the truth before things with this girl get too serious (and more importantly, before the completion of this current lunar cycle). hrm. this paragraph is starting to sound way too 'dear abbyish', so i think i'll end here.

wondering in waterloo,
danC

I have Heterochromia (two different colored eyes) just like Kate Bosworth. I have one brown and one blue eye. Most states don't have a choice for anything other than blue brown green and hazel on the drivers license, which is actually a little frustrating. They tell me to "just pick one, brown or blue". Mine says blue. *shrug*

Check out my webpage link below for pics if you want to see my eyes.
