http://orangeman.commo.de/index.htmlA few weeks ago I was talking with my roommate. I can't remember what it was about, but somehow the topic of carrots came up. Now, my roommate is a friggin genius about all things medical and conspiratal. If it involves the two together, he is a super genius. Don't even get him started about how the government is rigging football games to control the population, because it will blow your mind.
So yeah, carrots. He tells me that if someone eats a whole lot of carrots, they will turn orange for a while. I find it hard to believe, but he is always right about such things. It's also important to note that he doesn't actually specify how many carrots or for how long one would turn orange. For all I know at this point, it could be following the, "you are what you eat" principle and turning you into an actual carrot.
Time passes...
I'm driving down the road thinking about absolutely nothing. All of a sudden, BAM!! An idea hits me like a pound a bricks. Passing motorists mistake this as a cursory head banging. I need to find out if this whole, "turn yourself orange" thing works. Ideas start forming in my head, necessitating more head rocking. I know what I need to do, I need to consume enough carrots to turn myself orange!
Hours later reality begins to take grip again. I should probably find out if this is even possible before I go on a potentially deadly carrot eating spree. A few searches on Google turns up a condition known as Carotenemia. So yes, eating a metric ton of carrots (or drinking the milk of someone that has eaten said carrots) can turn babies orange. But can it turn a full sized man orange? I believe it is my duty to find out, and find out I will. . . .
