Salt of the earh.

Last _hangover Post

I rarely have salt in the ear.
It would be easier to get out than the usual earwax, that's for sure.

Analysis of ear wax may show sodium.

Let me tell you that it is very difficult to even superficially analyze anything without finding sodium in the process.

I can analyse that sentence without finding sodium !

Last _{you did say anything} Post

You were reading that sentence from either a computer monitor (flat or tube) or from a printout. Lots of sodium in either of those. Not just in a general sense but specifically in those parts the sentence is visibale at/on/through.
Do you wear glasses while reading? There's your next dose of sodium (even if it's not 'true' glass but plastics.
The liquid lubricant from your tear ducts that keeps your eyeballs moist is also salty.

So, no way you can read the stuff without sodium getting in between you and it.

Edit: not to forget the distinct sodium lines in the light you use to see anything.

Braille on screen has yet to be invented, as far as I know.

There is a device blind people use instead of a monitor (which is btw featured in the classic movie 'Sneakers').
I do not know, whether it is commercially available already but there is a pin-less braille system that could be adapted to monitors that works with localized electric charges imitating the old mechanic device

According to wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display) a braille monitor has been patented but is not yet in production.

They should make them out of wearable plastic.

You mean like a glove with stimulators at the fingertips?

They can make them in the shape of a clown for all I care.

Too scary

Last _{On the other hand, why would a clown shape scare the blind?} Post

If the clown molested the blind.

Last _{being unable to 'unsee' seems mild compared to being unable to 'untouch'} Post

But it should be rather independent of the clown's look.

The clown's look would be benign - I've never met a blind clown.
