Never forget that a large number of people are totaly stupid!

I wrote about this in my book. Here is a website which has evidence that looking at the Sun may not harm your eyes, but in some circumstances it can, especially in children.

That sounds about right. You take a gamble every time you stare at the Sun, and while that means you won't necessarily lose - don't be expecting the same result every time...

Do you spin the clip on the table a few times in lieu of spinning the cylinder?

No, you close your eyes when you put the bullet in so you won't know where it is.



Emphasis added.

But what about the fit of sneezing that usually accompanies staring at the sun? Can that be good for your nostrils?

Ahh, I finally got rid of those infernal colors!

Yep. Bothered by "floaters"? Take our patented solar therapy and never have to worry about seeing floaters again.
