Tho I was too young to remember, when my brother was little my mom was shopping and took him to the soda fountain in the department store. Apparently they had someone fixing the whipped cream machine. They asked my brother a few times if they could test it out by adding more whipped cream to his milk shake. Heck yea!!! They story stuck in my family forever for some reason.

I call on all you New Yorkers to be on the lookout for my younger son this weekend.

I hope they have a good time! Not sure how old they are, but it's a great place to explore at (almost) any age. I assume they're not NYC newbs, tho, right?

He's got a good head on his shoulders, but really loves a good time. His buddy is the same way.

I should add as a sidenote that my son's senior class did their voting for class night awards, and they voted him as "Best Eyes." His brother won this two years ago too. It isn't exactly "most likely to succeed, but we'll take what we get.

Well, that's nice. But the question is, does he take after his mother or his father eh??

Kly, my wife's eyes are green just as are those of one of my daughters. I could stare into them all day.

Ahh, you too are blessed, oli. Is she a Pittsburgh girl?

My second wife (R.I.P.) had awesome green eyes. They'd almost change to a gold color when she got angry. Gotta love those Irish girls.

Kly, what a great weekend he'll have. And what a perfect time of year, too. Hope he gets to the tree in Rockefeller Center. The city is so beautifully dressed up right now.

My wife and 3 oldest offspring all have brown eyes. The youngest, my little devil Matty has blue eyes like his old man. I have no idea of the significance of all this...i am just glad we all have eyes that work properly

Like you, Yogi, I too am among the 8% of the global population sporting baby blues. Scientists theorize that all of us with blue eyes have descended from a single person, who lived 10,000 years ago near the Black Sea. This person was the first to exhibit the genetic mutation that resulted in blue eyes.

This gene doesn't create blue eyes, but blocks or disables the gene which made all of humanity's eyes brown prior to the arrival of our old friend from the Black Sea, who must have been regarded as a freak.

Scientists have an idea when and how blue eyes came into the world, but there are different thories as to why. Some argue that the European climate has been responsible for the deviation of physical characteristics, (eyes, hair color, skin color), which is unique to those, who've descended from early Europeans. Others feel the genetic mutations represent evolution's way of of creating distinguishing physical attributes through mutation for mating and procreation. Features such as blonde or red hair, fair skin and blue eyes emerged as a way to create sexual attraction within the species.

So you and Matty should walk with a lot of pride, Yogi.
