      Maybe in cartoons. I'm going to start a poll asking what hairstyles my koi should have. Because I'm sure they can grow hair. Lol.

      Not sure. I have seen the eye roll thing and initially thought the same as others have said... "did I just see a wink".

      I guess it's more a question of do they think they are winking or do I think they are winking. I don't think they are intentionally winking at me like it will get them more food or something. It happens they do this and I happen to see it sometimes.

      I think what people are mistaking as blinking is movement of the eye in a downward motion.

      A vote for blinking is a vote against angry emoticons. Vote blink 2012.
