One odd thing I noticed. At the size the image displayed on my laptop, I could look at a dot and see the dots to either side, but not the ones above or below, even though they were the same distance apart. I guess at least my fovea must be a horizontal ellipse, rather than a circle.

I noticed the same. I wonder if this is a result of two horizontally separated eyes (assuming too too are not a cyclops), or a training effect of reading horizontal text regularly?
