The sad thing is - there's two photos out there being used to deceive the public into believing that collodial silver does not kill single pathegenic organism - virus - bacteria and fungus (cancer) by destroying those organism's connection between themselves and the human cell - known in scientific circles as the organism's liquid lung within four to eight seconds upon contact with the positive charge that makes the sivler collodial (suspended in H2O). It's a shame that the rest of the world knows the CURES for ALL the major diseases - while the masses in this county suffer from the biggest plague mankind suffers - STUPIDITY!

Yep- Evangeline Walton.

bastards! now i have oompa loompa song stuck in my head. ungh!

maybe he turned blue from too much masturbation!

Uhhh... I met David Korn about two years ago and his skin was perfectly normal.

I believe that it was, in fact, Evangeline Walton. I saw her once, at the WorldCon in Tucson (sometime in the late 80's?). What I heard at the time(from someone working for Baen) is that she was subject to some kind of metal poisoning as a child, and it had permanently tinted her skin.

And she was almost graphite grey, rather than bluish.

The name Evangeline Walton sounds VERY familiar.

In her case, I'm pretty sure it was actual blue skin.

A friend sent me a link about a mercury-based treatment that had similar effects.

Pandaba: Chromaesiac?

Ahhh... now I remember the oompa-loompa->blue connection... the girl turned into a plum and was rolled out and my aspartame addled brain swapped the colours around, remembering that scene. If you can be colourblind, can you be colourdyslexic?

OK, does anyone remember who Stefan was talking about? I think it's Evangeline Walton, and my recollection is that she had to wear a blue topical cream due to some strange skin condition rather than that her skin was actually blue, but I can't find a definitive answer, and it's bugging me.

if only he had slightly more common sense, say choosing red instead of blue, i would consider voting him.

This is not so rare really. Korn of Korn Shell (ksh) fame
is blue. Basically ingesting a lot of silver can put you
at risk for this.

Another giant leap forward for alternative medicine.

I hope this guy wins. Can you imagine? As heard on CSPAN: 'I would like to yield my remaining five minutes to the distinguished blue gentleman..."

Mommy? What color does a Smurf turn when you choke him?

What a maroon.

Oompa Loompas are actually orange. I find your lack of knowledge of other ethnicities disturbing. Please report for reeducation.

So the oompa loompas finally have citzenship and can vote?

I like the last one, del toro.

Things Stan Jones is sick and tired of hearing:

"Good thing you're not a member of the Green Party."

"Why so blue?"

"I didn't know blue balls could spread"

"You can keep asking till you're blue in the face....never mind."

"My man gots the blues!" [with high five offer]

"What's blue all over and is going to lose this year's senate race?"

"Professor Jones, how did someone as stupid as you become a college instructor?"

>Er, jaundice turns you yellow.

But, blue + yellow = ...

Er, jaundice turns you yellow.


There have been cases of (captive, zoo-bound) Polar Bears turning green--their "white" hair is actually transparent tubes, and green algae sometimes grows there.

If he contracts jaundice, he could run for the Green Party.

Do the goth kids know about this?

[ insert Smurf joke here ]

As a native Montanan I can tell you we all turn blue in the Winter.

If he loses his bid, he could join the Blue Man Group. (Rimshot.)

There was a lady SF author with a similar condition; a side-effect of a medication used in her teen years.

Personally, I think that would rock. I donno. It would be pretty cool, you know. You could mess with parametics by sitting in snowbanks and pretending that you're freezing to death. And you would be a shoo in for the blue man group. Vegas here I come!

He (the senitor) would have been better off with drinking only rainwater and pure grain alcohol!

He looks like an extra from that Star Trek: Next Generation movie with the Borg...

What a nightmare. Can you image looking in the mirror and realizing, "On my God - my skin is going to be blue forever and there's nothing I can do about it." I'd freak out.

Ah, FuckedCompany had a link to
the CNN article with a picture. Frankly, it just looks like someone needs to "autoadjust levels" in Photoshop.

Wish I could find a picture. His
home page has him looking normal. And the local paper was too polite to run a photo.

I'll be he thought his "Chi Chi Rodriguez" copper and magnet bracelet would counteract the effects, but now Im afraid only Alex Chiu can save him!

(ugh, hate editing typos)

Well, he could get a nice guest spot on "Enterprise" as an Andorrian...
