A Full Minute of Silence

In Jean-Luc Godard's "Band of Outsiders," the protagonists attempt to engage in a full minute of silence (in reality, 36 seconds). It made me think about sound and hearing and deafness, which prompted me to wikipedia all kinds of crazy sound related stuff. Here are my findings:

Singer-songwriter/guitarist, John Mayer, suffers from music-color synesthesia, which occurs when someone experiences sort of a problem in neurological wiring wherein they mix-up senses. In this case, the result is the ability to hear colors. John Mayer can HEAR colors.
