Indeed one can walk with a prosthetic leg, but it is rather impossible to 
see through a glass eye.  :o


I would like to add that I've purchased at least two sets of "cheap bits" 
from Menards or Home Depot that had horribly-sharpened bits.  In the most 
egregious case the cutting edge was BACKWARDs (as in it cut better in 
reverse)!  I informed the person at the service desk when I returned them 
that blind monkeys could have sharpened the bits better; she didn't see the 
humor.

That was some very good info, Terry!  Thanks!
