C4M, I don't believe I missed anything this time.

It's not marine, but it's close. It's not amphibian. It's not an insect. It is a real eye, and surrounding skin, and it is magnified.

I shall raise above the fray and insult each one in sequence. To obtain a larger number of posts I will not lump them all in one post.

Hey! I didn't mention old! That's JimBob!

I am above the median age - yet age is not a word that I am comfrotable with - it should be "experinced," "seasoned," "wiser than normal," etc.

I prefer one word that sums it all - "Venerable."

BTW, the bit of pollen on it may have had something to do with the fact that its a Tulip!

I am well aware, laddie, that we are onto the mammalian or fish eye - amphibians, reptiles, insects have been, eliminated.

HOWEVER - the fact that the grain of pollen was not mentioned. I thought it interesting and no stuffy pipsqueak of an Englishman is going to be allowed to run rampant on the subject of my posts.

There - I told him!!

"Eye" is not part of it's name, and the eye is not really a distinguishing feature. It's neither of those fish.

Clue: you wouldn't want to eat this fish, but not because it's dangerous, because it's not.
