I just got back in town and have been reading the really interesting thread
on Albinism. I noted Herb Curl's comment on drinking a tremendous amount of
orange juice and having it affect skin color. I just wanted to throw in a
comment on a similar occurence. I was trying not to stuff myself on junk
food during a football-watching binge one year over the
Christmas-to-New-Year's football extravaganza. I decided to eat carrots
instead. After about 3 days or so of ingesting probably 10 pounds of
carrots my skin turned an interesting shade of orange, which was the talk
of the office on Monday!

Here's to junk food!!
