Its the eye of a flatfish, migrating to the other side of its head, during its development, as the fish goes from swimming like a normal fish to swimming on its side.

NO! If that was true I would have noticed by now! LOL!

That is good.

And then some jokes about the durability of Nokia 3310:
I posted some jokes about the durability of Nokia 3310 last year.
This video is no joke, but it's pretty funny that the old Nokia 3310 just won't die:

Edit: Here's another Nokia 3310 joke :smile::

Why don't mathematicians go on holidays in sunny countries?

Because they can get a tan by dividing a sin by a cos.

Why not do it the right way? I recommend the sexagesimal system and cuneiform! And in case you were asked, you can say that IRS means "Information via Rosetta Stone".

If you take it seriously, then he didn't even say A=>B, because he only made a statement about himself.

I think that Descartes understood that cogito ergo sum did not ipso res entail that non cogito ergo non sum ##-## thinking entailing being does not entail that not thinking entails not being ##-## he proclaimed that the fact of his thinking was a sufficient condition wherefrom to derive the fact of his being; he did not thereby identify thinking as a necessary condition for being.

I have heard it's a dull place to visit. The only entertainment available are flags that don't even move. And there is no transportation. If you want to go somewhere you have to bring your own car.
Also, the service is terrible. And the WiFi coverage is absolutely horrible.

There are some golf carts for rent. You only need to bring some batteries. However, the entire 12,000,000 holes course is a bunker.

It's a lightly contested course so it's easy to set new records. And you have such a great view of Earth!

Social distancing and airtight face shields are guaranteed, too.

Another good thing about the Moon is that it is very peaceful there.
It is so silent you could almost hear a feather fall as quickly as a hammer.

It was a statement of observer dependence - he exists because he thinks he exists.

He used bra-ket notation in his original meditations.
