Chinese Boy Claims To Have Cat-Like Night Vision

Posted by samzenpus on Friday February 3, 2012 @05:02AM from the all-the-better-to-see-you dept.

Oswald McWeany writes "Reports swirling around the Internet are that a boy in China may have cat-like night vision. The boy with eerie blue-eyes was able to fill out a questionnaire in the dark and his eyes reflect like a cat's when a light is shined on them. No reports yet if he marks his territory or is litter box trained."

Blue eyes? by Anonymous Coward · 2012-02-03 05:05 · Score: 5, Funny

Blue eyes? He just uses prescience to find if the answers he's about to write down are correct, much like Paul Muad-Dib the God-Emperor did later in his life. Nothing new here

  The questionnaire was a Foxconn job application. He's certified to work on the low-light factory floor which is under development so the employees won't really be able to see how bad they have it. /sarcasm

  Or it could be unregulated gene manipulation, this being china and all.
  Which would totally fucking awsome.

  Agreed.
  Where do I get me some freaky blue night-vision eyes?
  First you gotta kill a few people...
  And then you get sent to a prison where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. So you dig up a doctor, pay him twenty menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyes

  Or he is just using his fingers to feel the patterns of thickly printed ink on the form.
  Er, no. The obvious answer is that being cat-like, he shares their well-developed olfactory system, and hence reads by sense of smell.
  
  Also, he sure plays a mean pinball.

And there you were complaining about all the toxic waste that cheap manufacturing and lax environment laws in China.
We could have blue-eyed sightseeing children here in the US, but, OH NO, you had to have cheap iPhones!!

How is there no X-Men reference anywhere in the article or the comments? Are we afraid of copyright lawsuits for uttering the brand? :)

Yes, his eyes look like ordinary blue eyes to me. Seems to me his mother really pulled off a fast one on his father. "Ooh, it's a mutation, has nothing to do with my job as a tour guide for Western visitors."
