I like to claim good peripheral vision but 200deg. is only *something
there* or movement.


Not with me, I just held up a variety of bottles of pop at just past right angles and could tell which colour was which (I picked them up randomly from behind my back so my brain couldn't "cheat").


You can't really test yourself that's the point.


Yes you can and I just explained how.

I have to wonder where these "studies" get their bull**** from. I simply can't believe I have cones where others don't.


you don't all your' doing is moving yuor eye without realising.


I know if I move my eye, I'm not retarded.

It's similar to saying boo to yourself and wondering why you didnlt jump like other sdo. it doesnt; make you special.
Tickling yourself is another thing you can't do effectively.


Those are entirely different things.

Although does anyone know why tickling doesn't work? Boo is obvious, it's not a fright if you know it's going to happen. Won't work if your friend says "I'm about to say boo, BOO!!" either.
