I gimp'd this image of baby ferret's for one of Nerdwife's neuroscience presentations. The concept comes from a study where scientists would put eye patches over the eyes of baby ferrets to test and demonstrate monocular deprivation and cortical plasticity.

Naturally, if they have eye patches, they must be pirates.

Here was the original image:

I bet it really sucks to have an eyepatch and have every little kid around you ask "Are you a pirate?"

I'd go for the glass eye, myself.
