What's one thing you've seen that nobody else has?

Trying to speak in non-perverted ways, although I'm not sure how long that will fly here...

I have seen............ a drunken grasshopper!!

It's true! The rents took me and my brother to Atlanta one weekend (think I was about 10 at the time) and the highlight was catching an Atlanta Braves game. Cause my dad's a cheapskate, we wound up in the very, and I mean VERY top row, right up with the lights. Well, the lights attract bugs so we spent most of the game fighting over the binoculars and swatting mosquitoes. This grasshopper flew down and accidentally landed in this lady's cup of beer (I don't think she saw it). It climbed out, flew off very erratically, and landed on the wall behind my brother's head, and just hung there, swaying back and forth! He was drunk!!

I guess you had to be there.

I've seen a rv driving down the interstate on fire.

Came back like an hour later and only the black frame was left.

Aah, but have you actually seen them, though? Surely you need light to be able to properly see something, and that would be removed by your eyelids.

Unless of course you're one of those freaks that can turn them inside out, in which case you'll have seen them in the mirror. But you'll probably also have shown somebody else, as that's what those freaks do.

I am one of those freaks. Or used to be, anyway. Not tried in ages.

nah, if you have a bright enough light source, some light still permiates the eyelid, your eyes can't really focus but you can sort of see them. i appear to have a blood vessel quite prominently visible on my right eyelid, only from the inside...

Sheesh! I would've thought everyone had seen the inside of their eyelids at one time or another. Bright light source be damned! all you need is a strong enough contrast in brightness!

I, myself, am currently posting this with the monitor on super-tan/bleach mode, so I can see the screen through my closed eyelids. Ooh, but it'll sting in the morning.

turn your eyelids inside out?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 8:04 pm

Can't. they'll have swollen up to the size of golf balls by that time. (trust me, I have experience in these matters. Spectacle lenses only magnify the effect!

I got to watch the doctors do my knee surgery.

Bleah.

Floaters.

When the human body is still in its fetal stages, blood is being fed into it in a dozen additional ways, the hole in the heart for example. Extra blood vessels go into the eyeball itself, not lining the retina but into the liquid suspension. Upon birth, these blood vessels break off and degenerate but the debris remains floating within the vitreous humor, where they'll stay for life. With adequate lighting and a large white surface, one can see them floating around.

THATS what that is? Ive always thought I was hallucinating.Seriously.

Flaoters? I've seen a lot of 'floaters' that no-one else should ever see. Sorry, lowered the tone there - and everybody was doing so well too.

I was the only one to see my father die last year - cancer sucks.

Probably also not what you meant.

I always wondered what that stuff floating in my eyes was. You get those little 0.1mm bugs that live in your eyelashes too (everyone has them apparently) - I doubt anyone else sees those. I don't think I ever have either - but I'm gonna keep looking.

An interesting side-effect of my rather extreme short-sightedness is that I can focus on objects that are almost in direct contact with my eyeball.

I think we've ALL given some form of alcohol to some form of animal. Just 'cos it's ALWAYS funny ('til the animal dies. Not that it happened or anything - I'm just saying that it will at some point).

You diabolical superfiend!

It was YOU who wiped out several species of invertebrate, wasn't it?

Hey, I saved that mouse's life. It was on a pebble beach in Italy, and some German children were throwing stones at it. I stood in the way and blocked their aim, then I poured some of the beer from my can into a bottle-cap and put it in front of the mouse. He drank some, then ran away.

True story.

I saw the underside of a pickup then the freeway then the underside of a pickup then the freeway then finally the sky then I ran away in shock.

Lots of snow. Got in a wreck. Thought I was standing on the shoulder. Actually was standing in the middle of the road.

Killed a lot of vertebrates too...

No, seriously - I love animals. With potatoes and gravy.
