They have all inherited the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA.

Ah yes, the Afghani gene switch. Some have it, some don't.

As Van Morrison sung "Brown-eyed girl" tis me.
It's not the color of the eyes that matter, it's what others see when looking into them.
Someone did say that they are the windows of the soul.

Tabsey, some of us are mutants, some of us are aliens and some of us are just illusions.
