- I look as far to the right as I can while my eyes are closed.

I've never seen colours doing this, only varying shades of grey, and black and white checkerboard patterns. Why so?
Maybe you are a robot?Quote:

I used to do this when I was bored (with both eyes), I always figured it was the blind spot of my eye or something.
