But to someone so afflicted, red/green flags would just look kind of muddy, not "eye-watering."<br /><br />@DrSchnell: True dat. Interestingly, while browsing through my 1968 almanac earlier today -- I know, I know -- I happened to notice that, at that time, the center of the Burundian flag was not the three stars but a kind of drum/plant combo. I haven't been able to find out anything about where that came from and why the change happened, but then I haven't looked very hard either.<br /><br />@Jenners: The Canadian flag IS pretty.
