Okay, let me try to explain. Commonly things (primarily valves) that are powered (air, hydraulic or electric) are designed to fail in one position (open) or the other (closed) so you can predict behavior and for safety reasons . If your eyelids fail open that means that they are open, whether you are awake or not however most people wake up with eyes open ;) It really means that for some reason I woke up and didn't go right back to sleep so I got up :lol:

Not failed to open just failed open

:thumbdown: That may be the single most insulting thing I've ever been called. I was submarine qualified and I was a missile mechanic but the bane of my existence as a missile mechanic were engi@#ers. Instead of using the K.I.S.S. principle most (government) engine@#rs make things as complicated as possible to "Protect their phony-baloney jobs" to quote Mel Brooks

:lol: BobG unfortunately I understand what you mean.
Many mornings my eyes fail open, but again unfortunately
my brain fails closed. It can be a problem with basic functions. :lol:

I meant you would be singing it in your head. I usualy have an anoying song playing in my head.. like "Pop goes the weasle" or whatever the Ice Cream Truck is playing through the neighborhood all day. Thursday it was the "Maccaraina" or however you spell it. It is most iritating :fb

Hey... Somebody has to do these things!

Doing animated gifs is one of my favorite ways to waste time.

Growing up, is highly over rated... ;)
