Averted Vision

From Slackerpedia Galactica

Averted vision is a term used to describe what happens when a hot member of the desired sex walks down the street and notices you staring at them.

Averted vision is the #9 cause of minor traffic accidents in the United States.

Averted vision is best avoided by wearing sunglasses so one can gaze with impunity.

In astronomy, it refers to the curious habit astronomers have of not looking at an object in the eyepiece. The areas around the edge of the eye are more sensitive to light than the dead center of the eye. So when looking at a very faint object, it sometimes help to stare to the side of it, thus allowing the objects light to enter the side of your eye. Objects have been known to "pop" in and out of sight when switching between direct and averted vision.

If you are going to look at Pamela Gay while in the company of your significant other, use averted vision. If you are caught expect one or more big bangs to follow (or not depending on your definition of big bangs)!
