Spinoff...some dude on line the other day told me that recognizing green
makes you a genius.
or something to that effect. has anyone heard of this?
apparently they were holding money and luce was boggly boogly eyeing them...and the kid said "he was staring at our money' and I said "oh yeah, green is the first color he can recognize" and he said "all geniuses recognize the color green"
now, if it was back in my hot days I would have thought he was trying to get in my pants...but yeah, a 22-year-old wants none of this right now...
ftr, I don't think it's true. nor do I think my kid is a genius in any real sense (beyond how all mommy's think their baby is the cutest, funnest, smartest, smellingly goodliest ever) but I had never heard this "wives tale" and wonder if and why he was pulling my leg.

yeah, I googled it and I got nothing.
maybe he was looking for a little moped action.

Wasn't there something about that in Meet the Parents? DeNiro asks Ben Stiller if he picked out the rental car and when he says no DeNiro says something about geniuses and green.

This is what I was going to say too. Still one of my all time favorite moves
Jack Byrnes: What are you driving there? Ford?
Greg Focker: Yeah it's a Taurus. Yeah, we were going to get a mid-size, but I figure, hey, we pull down decent bucks. Might as well go all out, and pop for the full-size.
Jack Byrnes: Sure. Interesting color. You pick it?
Greg Focker: Oh, no, the guy at the counter. Why?
Jack Byrnes: Well, they say geniuses pick green. But you didn't pick it.

So if you're color-blind, I guess you're really SOL in the intelligence department

this post
my DS is extra special, he recognizes plastic with magnetic strips 
pulls my credit card out of my purse (I don't carry much, just ID, health insurance, keys and a few dollars) runs clear across the apartment chanting "Noah's money!"

Re: Spinoff...some dude on line the other day told me that recognizing green
Could he have been referring to money as green? Ya know, suggesting that smart people know money when they see it?
I don't remember the movie reference. I probably didn't watch it enough.
