muckin refarkable: neofonz: zeio: If she is so blind, why the hell is she wearing a watch?

They have made watches for blind people for over a century now... they either have flip-up crystals so the user can feel where the hands are pointing or they speak the time when a button is pressed.

/watch collector

And as a former watchmaker who has worked on braille watches, I can tell you, they are some nasty, dirty timepieces. The blind can't see the funk building up in the band and case, but the watches can be down right nauseating.

That never occurred to me. Amazing, the disgustingly weird stuff you can learn on Fark. . . .

zeio: Historically, after the females experienced first menses marriage followed suit fairly quickly. "God blessed them [Adam and Eve], saying, be fruitful and multiply." (Not that the bible represents Yahweh's true words as these were penned by man.)

Hey yeah, and I should be able to own slaves. And disfiguring torture should be used as the penalty for minor crimes. And I beat my wives when they fail to bear me a man-child.

Dude, civilizations evolve, and just because ancient cultures did it doesn't make it good or right or even sane.

Hell my chauffeur read that book in 2 hours. ( maybe that would explain the dents in the car, huh )

Someone should tell the girl in that picture that she's reading a cat.

My grandfather became deaf in his 20s, and when I was a kid I learned a fair amount of signing so I could communicate with him. I was rather smug about it at the time, since none of my peers could sign.

In 8th Grade, there was a blind kid in my homeroom with whom I became friends (because we shared a devotion to science fiction), and I was amazed at his ability to read Braille books. He could read almost as fast with his fingers as I could with my eyes. I tried to learn it myself and failed miserably.

I think being blind is much more difficult than being deaf.

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Well played. Redbull...monitor....pay up.

/Seeing Eye Cats won't do shiat

Seeing Eye Cats are capable of doing anything that a guide dog can do. They just choose not to.

zeio: If she is so blind, why the hell is she wearing a watch?

That's not a watch. And that girl will be hot and legal in about 7 years so shhhh, not that she can read this, but that's bad karma, maaaaaaaaaaan.

I see the one girl petting her pussy, but still, aren't these kids a little young to be blind?


/not clever
/I'll show myself out

anyone have a link to a good online braille-not braille translator or dictionary?

I think I'll go to that meet. I'm sure to bumb into a few new friends!

Gnorb: zeio: I say get on with it. Certainly not at 12, but shortly after first menses, get the bun in the oven. There is no good time, there is no right time, but waiting until 30+ can lead you to awful places. Our culture is, in essence, killing us.

Actually, while there are medical issues for having he first child after age 35 (for both men and women), studies have shown that in various species waiting until later to procreate will usually eventually (within 10 generations) lead to an increased lifespan for the species, usually doubling the it.

Our culture may, in essence, be giving our great great great grandchildren much longer natural lifespans.

trying that theory out, I am 37 the wife is 35, we just had our first.

Anyone can learn to read braille. Chuck Norris can speak braille.

Crosshair: Just subtly move all the furniture by 4-6 inches every day, then act as if nothing has changed. That will put them in their place.

Or just leave the plunger in the toilet for full on attitude adjustment.

And BTW, danar75 and raneking22 are some funny motherfarkers.

Indeed - totally useless!

Although I knew a blind woman with a cat named Seymour - he would point out something if she dropped it on the floor.

One guy wants the grand prize: A Braille computer. Known as the Windoz Lumpy Bump 6700. But if he's blind and can't see porn, what use is a computer?

Remind me to ask my daughters first boyfriend if he reads fark. If he does I shall kill him and bury the remains.

myalias1845: Can you enter if you're not blind? If so, I have some studying to do and I want in so I can make the blind feel like they have failed at one more thing.

/ducking

The same reason I want to enter wheelchair races. But I know I'd get my ass handed to me since most of the wheelchair racers are amputees or have atrophied leg muscles, thus they'll be lighter.

Why do they have braille menus over at McDonald's on the drivers side?

zeio: If she is so blind, why the hell is she wearing a watch?

Because she can't use the position of the sun?

I have seen braille on drive up ATMs and Vending Machines. The ATM,I can understand, because all are not "drive up", but vending machines? How can they see what is on the other side of the glass?
