| When Joz Wang and her brother bought their mom a Nikon Coolpix S630 digital camera for Mother's Day last year, they discovered what seemed to be a malfunction. Every time they took a portrait of each other smiling, a message flashed across the screen asking, "Did someone blink?" No one had. "I thought the camera was broken!" Wang, 33, recalls. But when her brother posed with his eyes open so wide that he looked "bug-eyed," the messages stopped. |
So to look normal you must look bug-eyed...funny. I heard a comedian once say you could blind fold an asian with dental floss. |

The world loves Japanese anime characters, but that's going too far!  |

What's the evolutionary purpose for having slanted eyes?
And I know this is going to sound stupid, but does this effect their range of vision? |

It's believed that the ancestors of Chinese and Mongol descent which now are the main inhabitants of Asian countries developed it to keep sand out of their eyes. And no, it doesn't affect their range, though the eyes themselves tend to be of lower "quality" than western eyes, which is why you see Asians wearing glasses a lot. |

You never see Asian rabbits wearing glasses because they eat carrots and other healthy things.
So it must have something to do with their diet. |

| I also highly believe that the recent trend of Koreans wearing Rivers Cuomo glasses with no frames in them isn't related to Kimchi or bad eyesight at all. |
