I'm assuming those are categories with the rest of pictures fitting under one of those main 7? And I'm also assuming you got this conclusion from looking at the names of the different planet pictures?

Well then, I guess we can conclude that deadspace has never left a hooker on the side of the road.

Did you know that birds have 4-cone colour vision? Humans on the other hand have only 3-cone colour vision, which means that compared to birds all people are colour blind, and that there are colour patterns on birds and flowers which are imperceptible to us.

Then how did we find that out?...

Imperceptible to our unaided eyes. There are tech ways of constructing roughly the shape of the patterns that birds would see based on what is known about bird eye cones and the light absorption/reflection qualities of flowers. We can't really imagine it in colour though because it would be exactly like a colour blind person trying to imagine what a person with regular vision sees, but it is still possible for the colour blind person to understand that there exist colour patterns that he can't see.

Lol. You could strangle it with its own appendix. Of course, it would be more efficient to just rupture it, but not as fun :twisted:
