Hopefully not in a Michael Crichton novel kind of way, or we're all doomed to die of the wooly mammoth pox.

Though it’s been delayed along the way, Riddick finally opens Sept. 6. Will you be watching?

Earlier today, I was reading a story in which T'Pol was obsessed with Trip's blue eyes. Then I happened across this new article about the physics of why blue eyes are blue (hint: there isn't any blue pigment). If you'd like to take a look: https://www.sciencealert.com/science-ho ... eir-colour.
