Craig quoted wikepedia quoting Robert Heinlein: 
"it means as little to us (because we are from Earth)
as color means to a blind man"

Reminds me of the scene from the movie 'Mask',
where/when/in which  the boy teaches the blind girl
about colours using a variety of things in the
kitchen. Well worth a look.

Happy Friday,
Terry
