Some think it only registers light and dark, and functions as a way to keep track of the horizon for flight, and others think it works like an iris, measuring the light's intensity so their regular vision can make appropriate adjustments.<br /><br />I see that you figured it out, <b>Sandman</b>.

(hint, hint)<br /><br />That cartoon is more scary to me than funny. "The world owes us a living." It sounds like my country today. We hear the mantra of "hope and change," but it is a shallow hope, which builds its foundation by placing our burdens on other people. Walt Disney <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmGk8JAMhBw&feature=related" rel="nofollow">prefaced</a> the showing of this cartoon by reminding us that it was a story with a moral. There is a redemptive conclusion to the grasshopper's tune.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23674601.post-66598655454521731042009-11-18T12:52:39.775-06:002009-11-18T12:52:39.775-06:00Nice shot.
