Those amazing things we see with

Our eyes are the same size from birth to death, so when that newborn baby looks up with its big wide eyes, not to worry they'll grow into them.

It's impossible to sneeze with your eye's open.

And finally when your tempted to shout at that sports referee "ARE YOU BLIND!" No they are not blind but they are seeing things.

To compensate for the 100 millisecond lag in our visual system, your brain creates an illusion that shifts objects slightly in the direction they're travelling. So a tennis ball flying toward the baseline may appear to cross it before it bounces just inside. This according to scientists accounted for 70 out of 83 bad calls made during the 2007 Wimbledon Championships.

In the words of John McEnroe "You cannot be serious!"
