So these past few weeks of discussing a real thing were for the sole purpose of this punchline? Never mind the fact that Chipper is an educated man and might possibly have learned that the pineal gland was once called the “third eye”.
The pineal is an interesting gland. In many animals it has eye-like structures and forms a light receptor that is used to regulate the day/night cycle of the body. Mammals don’t have that sort of thing. The gland gets its information in roundabout fashion from the eyes.
