Who's the Google daddy?

[Zathras]

Righto, new competition for you all. Someone posts a bizarre question that needs answering with any method you have at your disposal. First to answer with reference URL gets the kudos of being the Google Daddy and also gets to set the next question.

My idea so I'll start. Who can give me a figure (and corresponding URL) for the percentage of the UK population who physically lack two eyes?

[Shad]

Does that include people who have only one eye and therefore do not have two eyes? Also, where do people with glass eyes fit in?

[Zathras]

Yes and not included respectively. People with either just one or no biological eye at all.

· On average, 15 cases of anophthalmia are reported each year in Britain equivalent to one in 10,000 births.

ah, but then you need to include people who have undergone Enucleation (removal of the eye - http://www.moorfields.co.uk/EyeHealt...ns/Enucleation) to get a nearer figure

[Zathras]

http://www.tiherp.org/docs/media/TribecaTrib.pdf - 4th paragraph would suggest they can.

http://brianlewandowski.exclamation-...s/2003_04.html - under the entry marked April 25th, 3rd paragraph, a less substantial reference again suggesting they can.
