if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

Here is an article of perhaps casual interest.  Pupil size is an indicator of ones potential intelligence and reasoning capacity.....really?

Back in time, phrenology, the study of a persons skull shape, nose size, hair color, etc, was thought to be an indication of mental capacity, criminal propensities, and a few other characteristics.

As for eyeballs............Routine Eye exam discovered that I have a semi treatable case of Macular Degeneration in one of my ancient eyes. On consulting an M.D specialist I learned that the problem can be delayed by sticking a needle into my eyeball every successive month for a while. He did stick the needle into the affected eye. Oh Joy.

Some pain the first day but it has subsided now on the second day.  I gotta go back next month for another eyeball jab. ...and onward. Better than going partially blind I think. And yes, the bourbon and tonic was somewhat therapeutic.

:o  Sheeit! Better render me unconscious, you try that on me! I have macular degeneration, but nobody has mentioned stabbing me in the eyeball as a cure, or delay of blindness! I don't think that it is progressive, but a result of my pyrotechnic activities in my youth leaving permanent damage.
