i heard a story... not sure if it's true...
apparantly, a moped enthusiast refused to wear the visor on his helmet, as he had the impression he looked cooler without it. while this may be true, he obviously had not thought about the consequences of his actions. sure enough, he was riding along, and became involved in a head on collision with a fly. the rider's eyeball completely destroyed the fly, and in return only suffered swelling, thus reducing his vision by 50%. this injury caused the rider to require an eyepatch. however, the story does not end here. despite the rider's depth perception being seriously compromised, he again went out on his bike, and again refused to wear his helmet, despite his previous accident. and, if only to prove that god does exist and he's an evil bastard with a wicked sense of irony, the rider was again involved in a collision with a fly, this time... yes, you guessed it, in the other eye. and to rub salt into the wounds, the resulting accident caused not only the remaining 50% of his vision to be negated, but a broken collar bone for good measure.

he now wears his visor whenever he is riding.

Hmmm.
You do realise ,of course, that'd mean he's blind, and so unable to ride?

I call shenanigans.
