Random thought of the day

If we assume that the commonly accpeted idea about early man is correct, that men were hunters and women gatherers, I wonder how much of that was simply because men are much more likely to be colour-blind, and therefore have a harder time differentiating bewteen poisonous and non-poisonous gathered food.

And the designers of the on-line game should throw a background texture behind the colors, so that the distinction is clear even if you don't catch the colors. That's a simple fix, without changing the game board much at all for those who are accustomed to it's current look.

Yeah, the developers said there were working on it, though I didn't check the date on that update on their page. I wish they would, though, because even with my pretty good (i.e., non-colour blind) colour vision, I find it kind of hard to tell the "red" they have for clay from the "brown" they have for forests.
