What a Pinhead
embarrassing May 30th, 2008
pinhead: (pin‘hed’) n.
1. dumbell: an ignorant or foolish person.
2. Slang. A stupid person; a dunce.
When I was little and looked at old black and white pictures, I thought it meant that there was no color.
Not that there was no color film. Rather, that there was no color in the world.
I’d ask if anyone had a more stupid idea in their heads, but I don’t think it’s possible.
Stumble it!

I think it stupid that there’s no colour in the world. It took me a long time to understand that when it rained here it didnt necessarily mean it rained there.

Julie — Good one! Speaking of no color, someone should invent eye glasses you could put on that make you see in black and white. Oh, look. I’m not the first person to consider that: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Are_there_eyeglasses_that_make_you_see_in_black_and_white

I used to think the same exact thing about black and white TV, my parents wouldnt let us watch the color one except for Muppet Show.

Melissa — Ack! Muppets just wouldn’t be right in black and white. That would scar me.

That is so funny!. My youngest son also thought the same thing. We were looking at images of the first Batman television series and then some color shots and he said “So, that is when you got color?” I said “Yes”. Then he said, “How did you see things at night if everything was black and white?” It took me a moment and after good roll I explained the world to him. “Oh!”…
