Talk:Steerpike

message: As there seems to be some difference in opinion over this, let me quote from Wikipedia's own page on albinism:
:Individuals with full albinism (called albinos) generally have pale yellow to white hair, and pinkish-white skin. In many organisms, the eyes of an albino appear red due to the underlying blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them. In humans this is generally not the case, as a human eye is quite large and thus produces enough pigment to lend opacity to the eye. Despite this, completely red eyes resulting from a lack of melanin to cover the underlying blood vessels are not unknown in humans.
So there you have it. It's not completely impossible. Besides since Peake was probably not "too" well read on medical details he could have still used it as it occurs with most animals. But please feel free to discuss this. --Steerpike 20:03, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Well I reread it recently and I have to say it didn't sound encyclopedic at all. It looked more like a discussion transplanted from the talkpage. Perhaps we can paste it in on this page. Of course you can add it back to the article if you want. I don't really mind. --Steerpike 09:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
