  4. Eye would have never believed that a squid's eye could ever grow that big!!!! But it was kind of gross that they would actually disect the squid to measure it's eye. It was totally awesome!!!!!!

  6. Well I did not know that there were nerves at the back of the eye ball that bring information to the brain. It is cool that the can "see" light and the brain can tell what it is.
