Blinkety Blink

As I was visiting the Dr Who website, I found some interesting but useless facts.

On average, it takes between 300-400 milliseconds to blink. Depending on the circumstances, a human blinks between 3 and 30 times a minute.

Then I've just wasted 2100-2800 miliseconds on blinking last minute.

Did you know that heavy VDU use, means that you start to half blink, not completely closing your eye when you blink and can lead to a line of gunk across the centre where your lids meet which impairs or irritates your eye after time.

Fortunately, my VDU does not weigh that much.

I heard the technical name for it is MASCARA, the added weight will slow down your blinking time....

Do we put this to myth busters????
