I had a granduncle with two different colored eyes.  He was a brown eyed
missionary sent to Norway.  He lost an eye, and the only glass eyes they
had were blue.  (This is a story I've been told, never met the man myself.)

I have (to describe it in a sensational fashion) two pupils in one eye.
If you look very carefully at my left eye, you can see what appears to
be a big black speck floating in front of my iris.
I think it's actually a hole.  I've tried shining a real strong light at
it, and it doesn't reflect any.

I've noticed a difference in the color perception of my eyes.  If I close
my right eye and see through my left eye, everything has a slightly bluish
cast compared to vice versa, which gives everything a yellowish cast.  By
switching back and forth quickly between my eyes, the effect is especially
noticable.  It is more noticable in natural light than artificial light.
