Blinking heck mate, how would I know?
I'd never noticed it before, but it's an interesting question.

Come to think of it, pretty sure Crocodile Dundee didn't blink too often either.

EDIT - DObbo if you are watching that kind of crap on TV it sounds like you have too much time on your hands. Bolt a turbo onto the turdis already...

My wife informs me that she saw an interview with a hollywood actor who was instructed not to blink during a shoot because it is a sign of weakness. You will see very little blinking by action heroes apparently. Betcha John Wayne never blinked his whole life!

Note that when you are trying to intimidate someone by staring them down you try not to blink, first one to blink loses.

You have some?

This thread made me download Silence of the Lambs. Damn non-blinking serial killers/salesmen.

If they blink fast would it give a strobe effect therefore you do not see the blink? I think I have just invented something, I shall call it. The rhythm method?
