Yes, they are. That's why you "cry" when you smell onions. The fumes can get to your eyes from the inside of your nose.

Yea. There are drainage tubes from the inside bottom eyelid down into the sinus cavity. That's why when you cry, you have to blow your nose. When you sneezed you probably forced fluid back up through tubes. (when I was younger and had severe colds, many times when I blew my nose my eyes would end up with snot in them :eek: )

HOLY SHIZNIT! I didn't realize those holes on the bottom eyelid were tearducts. I thought I was a cloned human, as was brought forth in the movie The 6th Day.

so every morning when i wake up, the nastiness in the corners of my eyes is actually snot? :Q

So when you smell something good, why do you salivate . . . the mouth and nose must be connected! :Q

And apporx. 2~3 hours I eat something, I have to go to the bathroom! They must be connected too!

those dots are farther behind the lower eyelid. so you have to pull the eyelid out and peer down in there. you may still be a clone.
