It seems today my comments are in no way linked with the post... But, reading this *Up* I wondered about the phrase "in the eye of the beholder".

Where, or how, did this originate? Did someone actually hold some bees and did they get stung in the eye?
Perhaps it was the last thing shrieked by one of the low-level adventurers of a misguided party who stumbled into the lair of a hideous floating beast with numerous eyestalks and a bad attitude?

beholder monster

"Carl, don't point that arrow at me!"

"Oh, sorry! Where should I shoot it?"

"In the eye of the beholder!"
