That really is an "oh no" joke.

I have taken the bait, and I wonder about the fascination about goats and sheep.
I am a farmer, and know all about livestock. I also enjoy a nice lamb chop when I can. :t:
This is an interesting subject about the shape of an eye pupil.
I have fond memories of a recent trip to Alaska and going through
the Denali National Park. They only allow a tour bus through the park,
and take a wild guess who spotted the most Dall Sheep on the mountain
sides. The driver said that was the highest number they had found all
season. I was carrying my Swaro. SV 8.5x42 EL, and know how to use it.

Jerry,
It wasn't out of collimation so you saw everything twice?

What I also find interesting is the basic difference between normal unaided eyes binocular vision and the view through binoculars.
Through binoculars the image is round, a circle with the view restricted.
With unaided eyes it is almost a rectangle with a wide field of view almost unrestricted.
We buy 55 inch T.Vs now for not much money.
But who would buy a 55 inch circular T.V.?
Why do we want everything rectangular and level, Paintings on the wall, bookcases etc.?
Maybe an eskimo living in a round igloo would not mind circular paintings or a circular T.V.
Do the pupils of sheep and goats eyes become almost square in low light?

Only when they're watching old 4:3 re-runs. If they're watching more modern shows recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio, their pupils become more rectangular...

Quite so. I could get quite expositive about various aspects of the beasts, covering everything from fly-strike through liver fluke. But you wouldn't enjoy it (the sheep sure don't). Perhaps if you were a Welshman or a Kiwi....

P.S. Not that we see many sheep here in Sydney, except for the metaphorical kind. But, while I'm far from being Clancy of the Overflow, I've not always worked in the big smoke...

Because when sheep were sheep and men were men and most domestic stuff was made out of wood, it was easier and more economical in the amount of wood used to make stuff out of planks ie rectangular.
