That Time a 61 Year Old Farmer Won One of the World's Most Grueling Athletic Competitions

The Story of the US National Anthem (and How it Became Part of the National Pastime)

In this video:

David Bowie was a man who reinvented himself countless times throughout his roughly half-century long career; one thing that remained constant about Bowie’s appearance, though, were his eyes. For anyone who doesn’t have Bowie’s likeness burned into their consciousness, the musician famously had one brown eye and one blue eye. Or at least, it looked like he did in pictures.

Now that you know all about David Bowie's left eye check out this video and find out Where the Expression “I For One Welcome Our New X Overlords” Came From:

In kindergarten there was this boy in my class with one green eye and one brown eye. His name was Raymond and I *hated* him. That was the year I stopped going by Elizabeth, because he always called me...
...E-lizard-breath. *sigh*

That's actually pretty creative for a 5 year old. The little turd.

I have Anisocoria due to an injury sustained when I was a corrections officer. I was hit in the right eye and the muscle that controls my pupil was damaged. Unlike David though the damage fixed a stigmatizim and improved my vision. Instead of being far sited in my right eye and near in my left, I am now just near sited. Just another useless fact for the trolls in the comments.

3:58 I guess that's what eye candy is

Bigger question: What was up with David Bowie's spandex tights in Labyrinth?

[mandolinic]

Gets out mirror. Checks pupils. Both the same. Damn! There goes my career as a rock god.

[Jiraton]

Amazing video ! (And no ads !) That is pure brain candy !

[runthejudes]

I already knew this but I still loved it and love him.

[psychofury]

I always thought he wore a contact till a year or so ago. Looks cool lol

[alternativeprincess]

I have heterochromia. Except mine is almost imperceptible because my eyes are a gorgeous storm cloud grey and the left one has a very slight tinge of pale green and the right has the same but blue. Oh, and the bottom quarter of my left eye is a stunning honey gold color, and all of this changes with my mood because apparently my needing glasses makes my eyes move a lot with my moods which changes the way and or how much light reaches them which makes the colors appear different

What is with the doctored photo of Bowie wearing Google glass in the thumbnail and at timestamp 2:50?

[jessn.]

Uh I sure hope they found the person that threw that lollipop at him and gave them some jail time. That’s terrible.

[EnviousGaming]

What's up with the Google Glass photoshop of Bowie at 2:50?

[momkatmax]

Interesting. Always thought he had different color eyes. Knew someone who had one eye partly green and brown. Very pretty like agate.

[lightbox]

I developed anosicoria after a mugging. It caused trouble with vision in that one pupil was always wide open and more light sensitive than the functioning other pupil. It did abate after three or four years.

[misslissy]

My eye color is blue green grey, and when I wear blue clothes they look more green, when I wear green they look more blue, but oddly when I wear grey they look grey. My mood can also affect my eye color.

[attackontritan]

I always thought he had a contact in his left eye to make himself look that way. Weird.

[chuckasualty]

I remember being told he had a glass eye

[cadburybunny]

And I always assumed he was a Chimera ... this was even cooler.

[esotericone]

I already knew this, but just wanted to hear you explain it.💕🙄
