LOL, Leonis, that sounds like something right out of Willy Wonka! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Actually, though, you are right. The extreme concentration of carotene (which is where the carrot gets its name from) will be stored in the fatty subcutaneous layer of the skin, and will turn you a lovely shade of Tide-bottle orange.

There is absolutely nothing wrong about being ORANGE! I love ORANGE! Why, I'm a Tennessee Volunteer through and through! Maybe I need to find a 6 pack of this stuff to drink a day or to before the games! GO VOLUNTEERS!

I'm sure that intelligent carrots of the universe would be shocked to hear that even people who didnt like them would start drinking them...

When I was young I always wanted to be a carrot - but I ended up being a Donut, and a right Donut at that!

BTW - have you noticed that you never see a left-handed whelk?

My nephew did turn orange! He was around 6 months old and my sister-in-law discovered he absolutely loves not only carrots but also pumpkin and sweet potato so she was feeding him heaps of them thinking "great! he's eating vegies because he loves them. let's encourage this"
He soon looked like he had bad jaundice but the doctor said he'd just been coloured in by the vegies! She cut them down and he returned to normal - no harm done thankfully.
