Play That Funky Rembrandt

A new, rarer, even stranger form of synaesthesia has been discovered. The people who have it can hear pictures, apparently.

I'm teetering back and forth between thinking "This would be so cool!" and "this would be unbearably irritating!" I do know that if I could pick one type of synaesthesia to have, it would be the ability to taste music. Imagine the possibilities!

If you want to read more on synaesthesia, be sure to check out this story, if only for its priceless title: "George Bush is like a crusty potato."
