In an ideal world, instead of being an annoying comedian who somehow has a career despite not being funny, Andy Dick would probably be the rapiest Steve Goodman impersonator in Chicago:

People who underwent cataract surgery to remove the lenses in their eye balls gains the ability to see in UV.     This is because human retina is sensitive to UV, but the lens in the eye, while transparent to visible light, is opaque to UV, so UV in normal eyes is blocked by the lens from reaching the retina.

That used to be the case, but intraocular lenses today feature UV protection. I had the surgery a few years ago, and I kind of wish I could see UV, but I'm also kind of glad I'm not risking damage to my retinas from it. There may be some places that still use the UV-transparent lenses, maybe they're cheaper or something.

Have you seen the price of eggs????

I bought a pack of 18 yesterday and they were nearly $10.00.  And there was a limit of 3.

Eggs today are the toilet paper of a couple years ago.  sigh.

I have half a carton left from my recent purchase. I'm thinking of having them bronzed.

They would be worth more fossilized rather than bronzed.

I don't recall the rooster talking in that film.
