We played a parlor game in 6th grade to find our dominant eye. You have to keep both eyes open! Then stick out your thumb and cover up an object. Then, close one eye. Open it, and close the other.
Through one eye, your thumb should be right on top of the object. Through the other eye, the object is way off to the side.
At work the other day, I learned a new parlor game for testing eye dominance. This new way is even better. You cut out a small hole in a piece of paper and look at something through the hole, KEEPING BOTH EYES OPEN. Then, shut one eye. Open it and shut the other. You should achieve the same result as the thumb. Make sure not to move the paper or your head when you do the experiment though.
I am right-handed and right eye dominant.
Also, did you know that your genetics can make your urine stinky after you eat asparagus? I guess I have that gene.
Good to hear from you, even if it’s from the world of obsurd and weird facts. I guess I have that “stinky” gene too, but I’m sure that’s more information than you cared to know.
