Based on what I know, a nautilus would see dim images.

Yes, because they live in the deep seas where there is hardly any light.

I found a page that might be what they see:

I don't understand your question. What main advantage???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why would the nautilus have a pinhole eye, I mean. Is there something special with pinhole eyes than other eyes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess it's just a characteristic of their evolution, and since they are deep sea creatures that live in total darkness it comes as an advantage for them, I guess.

I'm glad you had customers for your dreads today. Do you make them out of your own hair?
Looking forward to seeing your next pointillism piece.
I took the day off today, so I'm just chilling on my computer, listening to Norah Jones, and answering my messages.

Very good thank you - the weather is lovely as we're heading into Fall!

You enjoy the fall? I'm a die hard summer type of guy, I'm going to miss it, because it wasn't long enough.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do! Summer is never long enough but fall is so beautiful - I really love the change in seasons!

Yes, fall is beautiful, but I don't like the cold weather.

Well, it doesn't get cold here in Vermont until November. September and October are usually in the 50 - 70F range. I don't mind it being cold so much, but usually around February I get really fed up with winter and cold weather.

I'm already getting fed up with the colder weather. I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold lol!

I would love to live somewhere tropical, if I could afford it.

I remember learning about nautilus and ammonites in my geology class. Very strange looking creatures almost like aliens
