<... melatonin-rich troppo happy-go-lucky person, I turn totally dark after 2-3 hours on beach>
Jay, Melanin-rich for sun protection, melatonin-rich for sleepy-troppo life.
Melatonin = sleep chemical from serotonin.
Melanin = skin chemical from melanocytes
Also, are you part reptile as well as amphibian and Trinidadian? <A hormone derived from serotonin and produced by the pineal gland that stimulates color change in the epidermis of amphibians and reptiles and plays a role in sleep, aging, and reproduction in mammals.>

Hmmm, reproduction in mammals. Reptilian. Amphibian. Not aged. Tell us again about those beach parties.
Back to those neurotransmitters, the pineal gland responds to sunlight. People get happier in the sun. So, to elevate their spirits and boost the stock market, we need to chase everyone out into the daylight each day. Or maybe put an ultraviolet light over their cubicles and make them go topless. They could have one of those little fountains for the amphibian component of their natures; raw meat for the reptilian part. Hmmm <... sleep, aging and reproduction... > so they might get randy, causing a problem in the cubicles if there was too much light and melatonin/seratonin.
How does free will fit into all this? Are we just a depressed pineal gland needing to see the light?

PS: I hasten to add I am NOT racist. Heck, some of my best friends are sleepy, melanin-rich amphibian reptiles and I think they should be given full human rights [unless they are aliens in Camp X-ray]. |
