I can see you... (NY Times Science Tuesday)

I can see you... (NY Times Science Tuesday) So it turns out that the eyeless brittlestar can see because its entire skeleton is essentially an eye. That makes me wonder -- what if one could see with other parts of one's body? What if one's skin was covered in microlenses? It would make showering more interesting, that's for sure.

Apparently, no one is familiar with Roald Dahl's 'The Amazing Story of Henry Sugar.'

What if you had eyes inside your stomach? Talk about introspection...

Hmn... finding the g-spot... so would the snake still only have one eye?
