Over the holidays, I overheard my Catholic mother refer to this condition as 'immaculate degeneration'. I didn't bother to correct her. It's no use.

Very cool stuff! A note, is it just an illusion or is the pupil in 0:38 off centered?

possibly in the future instead of glasses it will be contact lenses that recieve the light or implants. the energy could be made from the glucose the body has. that would be totally awsome. i hope that this research goes well. i would love to take a field trip there.
