I did know that women were far more likely than men to be tetrachromat. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean they have more of the three usual types of cones?

I'm French. "Omelette du fromage" is actually totally correct, if you mean that the omelette belongs to the cheese. Cheeses have a high status in French society, I wouldn't be surprised if some owned omelettes.

One day I forgot what my job was. My colleagues couldn't understand that I wasn't joking. I had my poster and my talk ready for my presentation, but I had no idea what they were about. I couldn't remember what I had been working on for the past three years, only that it was astronomy related. It took me three hours to remember.
