I saw that over on EC. Especially interesting to me given my love affair with all things Gunner. Quick question though... did I ever say it was NOT caused by lack of pigment? I was always told that it was and I didn't think that was a question. Now I may have said there are splashed with only stars who are deaf, but believe it or not they are white in their ears. What we see on the outside doesn't always speak for what's on the inside. GREAT article, thanks for sharing with this board. ACC |
