If you had an opportunity to have a star added to your stomach, wouldn’t you take it? Even if it meant that other people could have them added? Would you have your star removed, just because other people started having stars?

Sweet googly moogly.Report
I’m going the Bowie/cheapskate route and just getting one done.Report
Weird. Didn’t know that about eye color though.
It’d be weird to look into a mirror and see blue eyes staring back, though.Report
Meh. I’m saving up for a Uvula enhancement.Report
My eyes are already blue.
Fuckers trying to steal my edge!Report
Now that you mention it, I absolutely should have asked the “what if you already have a star on your belly” question.Report
Relax, I think its going to be years or even decades before this outfit is in operation.Report
Mmm, my eyes already change color between blue, green and grey.Report
If you’re either of my siblings get off of my site!Report
For some reason, I’m surprised you have siblings. I always imagined you as an only child for some reason.Report
Did they see the Boys from Brazil?
I like having brown-green eyes.

If I wanted to become Jewish, how difficult would it be?
Is there an operation I could undergo?Report
Yes, but they prefer it done on the 8th day.Report
Jaybird, the answer it depends but the process of becoming Jewish is usually fairly difficult for a variety of theological and sociological reasons. Theologically, Jews saw no needs in making gentiles Jewish because ideas about life after death were fuzzy at best and it was generally assumed that God wouldn’t punish gentiles for being gentiles. He created them to. Therefore, the Rabbis adopted stringent standards for conversion during Talmudic times. A gentile who wanted to become a Jew most not have mecurial aims, including wanting to marry a Jew, must accept the “yoke of heaven” and agree to follow all the laws of the Torah, have a ritual immesion in a mikveh, and if a man get circumicized.Report
must accept the “yoke of heaven”
But I thought you shouldn’t convert just for the yokes….

“It offends me as a comedian.”Report
I have put a bit of thought into this, as I too have considered converting to Judaism.
First of all, I would like to kill the baby Jesus. Secondly, I am already circumcised.
So, I’ve got the two biggies out of the way . . .
It’s the beard.
I have difficulty getting a decent goatee going.
And there are at least seven different colors of hair in my beard. In fact, it might be half an inch over or more until another hair of the same color occurs.
Maybe there’s a Reform movement somewhere that would allow falsies.Report
Will,
you don’t need a beard to be Jewish.
(I think even Muslims have it as “recommended” simply because Mohammed wore one).
I should like to see a picture of said multicolored beard.Report
That’s going to add a whole new wrinkle to the Blue Eyes puzzle.Report
I had a friend who would wear one colored contact until people noticed that he “had two different colored eyes.” Then he would switch which side he wore it on.Report
Your friend is awesome and I would subscribe to his newsletter.Report
The no-frills version is a dozen cases of cheap booze, to turn them permanently red.Report
By pouring the booze directly on the eyes? because drinking a dozen cases is not going to make your eyes permanently redReport
I don’t think anti-freeze turns eyes permanently red.
… you haven’t been drinking the same cheap booze I have, have you?Report
I have a black hole in my . . .Report
