Blue people, for real

Blue Senate Candidate
Via an odd blog called Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society, an article about the Blue people of Appalachia (scroll down past the science to the bit called The Blue People Of Troublesome Creek:

Four of the seven Fugate children were born with bright blue skin that lasted their entire lives

Someone linked to photos of blue people, who have from a condition called argyria, which they got from silver supplements: one is a US Senate candidate, the other a woman who got rid of it with cosmetic surgery.
They look sorta black-and-white.
