Your missions, should you choose to accept them, is to post! I mostly don't care what you post, so long as it has decent enough content and is posted in more or less the correct forum.
So now, whenever you stop by and there are no active threads, post a new topic. Bonus points if it's about the comic too.

Today I found out that I have really really bad depth perception in my right eye. That wasn't so much fun.

You can always get an eyepatch and complete the ruin of your depth perception. Besides, eyepatches are badass. :P

Girls in eye patches???
-
Aye.
Y'arr
It's a pirate's life for thee!

The reason that you have really bad depth perception in your right eye is that to have depth perception, you need two eyes. So, of course, alone, your right eye always has bad depth perception... :wink:

Why not? Haven't you seen the nun with an eyepatch on that religious channel or the Kill Bill assassin with one?

Har har har... I'm going to Hell.

I'll take my chances sans the eye patch, thankyouverymuch. If I was a pirate, I'd have to drink rum. The drinking part & especially the rum part doesn't sit well with me.
Matt: You sound frighteningly like Maggie over there.
Shawna: You still have depth perception whether you have one eye or two. :P Obviously only using one eye it is worse than with two, but it is especially bad in my right eye. My left eye is fine.
Hey, Maggie-Boy... are you making fun of a nun who had a stroke?

I'm Maggie and Maggie-Boy now, eh? Bullocks. And yes, I am making fun of her but I didn't know she had a stroke. I just always found that image funny whenever I saw her on TV.

You've always been a Maggie to me.

You've always been a Maggie to me.
Eh? What's that supposed to mean, mate?

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets!! Good book, good book.
Um. The entire... left... side of her face is completely lax. That's a sign of a stroke victim.

Huh? You hath confuseth me.
Um. The entire... left... side of her face is completely lax. That's a sign of a stroke victim.
Ooo... I didn't quite notice that and didn't know that was an indicator. I am definitely going to Hell.

I'm not shawna, but that can't stop me from replying. Technically, any depth perception due to one eye is a trick of your brain. Depth perception is caused by a phase difference between incoming electromagnetic (read: light) waves hitting each eye that originated from the same source. Since the same source's light takes slighty longer to reach one eye than the other, your brain can determine the actual distance betweens points of all objects it sees and thus interpret it in a 3d happy depth map of joy.
If you have only one eye, your brain doesn't get this depth information and thus it produces it artificially based on what it expects the depth to be. Basically you train your brain to learn the depth of things, and it just goes by what you know if you only have one eye. It's usually enough, but if you've ever driven with one eye closed, it's much much tougher because of the lack of real depth perception.
Yes, I know that technically even expectations produced by the brain are perceptions of a sort.

Feh. I don't think you want the kinds of posts I'd make right now. I'm in this mood. --> :rant:

Matt: Hmm. I actually knew that the brain just produces depth with one eye... but I didn't know the first paragraph. Yay for learning. What I've never understood, though, is why it's significantly better in one eye.
Jessen: Nothing... it just made me think of the book Maggie: A Girl of the Streets. It's a very short book by Stephen Crane, I believe. It's about a girl in an impoverished family & how everyone basically views her as a slut even though I still attest that she wasn't. The book is supposed to be pretty accurate to the time & the living conditions. Stephen Crane lived on the streets of NY for awhile in order to research for the book which is pretty cool. Excepted he ended up dying of TB which isn't so cool... hmmm. I guess that's what he gets for living in slums. [/quote]

You're like 5th in post count now. You've got a lot of ground to make up. Might as well make it quality ground while you're at it.

Thank you for that dissertation, Professor Matt. Will you be teaching Webcomicry 101 next?

Well, before the whole place started crashing and reloading all over the place I used to have the second highest post count here. Around 300 or so. But it was sadly lost. :cry:
