Default Skunked by scallops

Certainly better than being scalloped by skunks.


A scallop scientist told me that all of the tiny blue eyes of scallops
are of the imaging type and not simple light receptors. Can you
imagine that, a couple dozen eyes each capable of making an image? I
would not have thought a scallop had enough brain power to process
that amount of info. I am going to have to ask him again about this.
Maybe he meant they could form an image on the retina but what if the
retina does not contain the circuitry to process an image.
