Dear Mr. Oneder,

	How come some people have really big pupils in their eyes and others
have small ones?  And how come when they get "red eye" on camera photos,
it only affects their pupils?

	Also, what should I do with my love life?

Thank you,
bird Zoe

Dear Vanity Affair,

	Well, see, it's important to refrain from classifying people according
to the size of their body parts.

	Now, as for your first query...

	Ha!  Is joke!  We make with big big funny!  Not that it matters, the
size of the joke.  What matters is how it fits in your mouth.  Laugh! 
We make laugh now.  

	The "red eye" phenomena of amateur photography is caused by light from
the flash traveling through enlarged pupils, striking the back of the
retina, and returning to the camera.  Essentially, it's the red of your
blood and brains that you're seeing there, which is totally gross, but
also kinda cool, depending on what type of movies you like.  

	Certain people (and I'm thinking mainly of Keith Richards here) have
pupils which dilate rather more slowly than the average when confronted
with brightness - say, the flash of policeman's Mag-Lite, or the flare
of the savage fires of MOUNT DOOM - and so they are more prone to "red
eye" images.  Slower, not larger, as the sailor said to Turk.



	Mister Wonderful feels that you should take your love life out onto the
streets, maybe give it some exercise.  Shine like a big brass lamp, send
it up like the Bat-Signal.  Be bold with it.  To those who risk much,
much is rewarded.  Also: visit Paris.  Mister Monkey left a pair of
pearl nunchucks there, and we thought maybe you could pick them up while
you were there.

Safely, of course.  But while giggling.  My god, tonight I saw a dead
chicken shot out of a compressed air cannon go *through* a light
aircraft.  Life is good, with the Discovery Channel.  Although, not for
the chickens.  Obviously.
