  We have seen a humpback in cetacean ops: Gillian from Prodigy

  Why are there whales on Pike's Enterprise? I was under the impression that cetacean ops was a ultimately a result the events of Star Trek IV, which haven't happened yet.

  Well, I guess your thumb disappeared.

  I can try another way the blind spot is about 15 cm at arms length to the right of the right eyes center of vision. So put your thumb there and it should disappear

  Because of this we have blind spots, one for each eye. They are not usually noticeable because 1) the blind spot of one eye can be seen by the other, and 2) the brain fills in the gap.

  So with this I will perform a magic trick, I will make your thumb disappear: Close your left eye and with your right look at a spot in the background, make a thumbs up gesture and place the tip of your thumb on that spot, move your thumb to the the right continuing to look at the spot in the background, when your thumb moves about 15 cm your thumb should disappear.

  You can use you left eye too, just switch the directions.

  I don't think you understand correctly. The cephalopod eye and the fish eye (which includes tetrapods) evolved independently.

  German is not the same as Germanic. Both German and English evolved from a common ancestor, which we call Proto-Germanic.

  'Who' and 'Where' are '*hwaz' and '*hwar' in Proto-Germanic.

  I would say that in this case German strayed more than English.
