Definitely looks like it. Each review pretty much says the same thing with minor alterations here and there. :)

And only one copy left. Was the first print run limited to five copies? :P

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

You can buy it in a lot of major UK stores by the looks of it (From Asda to Waterstones) :)

Kate Hudson was shopping with her fella in the local Asda last night.
So there you go - Hollywood stars and rock stars shop at Asda.

We all need to shop. Even a future queen has been spotted with a supermarket trolley in front of her.

Women aren't ever colour blind as they have more colour sensing cones in their eyes than men.

My new route to work is slightly longer but takes 10 minutes off my travel time.

Ah, that explains why they care about curtains.

(actually, I was taught that it was because the gene that causes colour blindness is on the 'y' chromosome and therefore can't be inherited by a woman, but I guess that might be wrong).

* Heads off to Wikipedia *

You're mainly right.
Quote:
Many of the genes involved in color vision are on the X chromosome, making color blindness more common in males than in females because males have only one X chromosome, while females have two. Because this is an X-linked trait about 1% of women have a 4th color cone and can be considered tetrachromats although it is not clear that this provides an advantage in color discrimination.

Brainiac lied to me. :evil:

I love Brainiac dearly (helllloooo Nurse) but sometimes it's grasp on science was, shall we say, loose. Fantastic show, great fun. Not actually educational in any real sense.

I'm going to assume that this is a gardening reference and you are trying to be funny, and that you're not talking about drugs.
