RE,
Wisegeek seems to have dropped the ball on the bee response time.
Surly,
Thanks for the info on frame rates in movies. I remembered dimly it had something to do with how many 'frames' human eyes see per second but I'm certain projector speed and film manufacturing technology limitations affected the final decision on movie frame rates.
I'm going to look into human visual acuity to get the scoop on how well we see.
