So yeah. One day in 1959, the five are seriously hung over and whatnot after a binge at <a href="/title/The+Sands+Hotel+and+Casino">The Sands Hotel and Casino</a> in Las Vegas. Actress <a href="/title/Lauren+Bacall">Lauren Bacall</a> was kind enough to point out <em>"You look like a ...Rat Pack"</em>. Sinatra then declared that they would hold their own <em>"summit of cool"</em>. <a href="/title/las+vegas">Vegas</a> would never be the same.

For the next seven years, the five performed nightly at that casino. They were notorious for their <a href="/title/womanizing">womanizing</a> and drinking.

The iris is the coloured part of your <a href="/title/eye">eye</a>. It serves to control the amount of light that gets inside, protecting the sensitive <a href="/title/retina">retina.</a> It is a thin (~1 mm), donut shaped ring of <a href="/title/muscle">muscle</a> fibers that change the diameter of the hole in the center of it, called the pupil.
</p>
<p>
Operation of the iris is simple. When light levels increase, it will <a href="/title/constrict">constrict</a> the pupil. When light levels decrease, the pupil will <a href="/title/dilate">dilate.</a> The objective is to keep the amount of light entering the eye as constant as possible.
</p>
<p>
The iris' colour and texture are the result of <a href="/title/pigment">pigment</a> cells. To be more specific, <a href="/title/eumelanin">eumelanin</a> produces black, and <a href="/title/pheomelanin">pheomelanin</a> produces red. These two pigments combine in varying amounts to form wicked cool patterns that are unique, like your <a href="/title/DNA">DNA</a> or <a href="/title/fingerprint">fingerprint.</a> The pupil is black because the retina, at the back of the eye, has pigments in it that absorb light.
