I have no idea how that'd work.
The most likely hypothesis, to me, suggests some kind of parlour trick (with all due respect for parlour tricksters)
I guess, one can also imagine so weird case birth defect, maybe involving the sinuses leaking in the eye socket... but I'd think a sleight of hand being more likely.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

No, there are definitely people who can blow air out of their tear ducts. I've seen similar "stupid human tricks" before. It's a harmless medical anomaly.

Oh... ok.
Tear duct do communicate with the upper respiratory tract (hence the 'sniffling').
But that do make the Eye surgeon's befuddlement a bit worrisome.
| The only exit for air is the tear duct, but a tear duct is very narrow and winding. Even if some air can exit from the tear duct, the amount is tiny, so it's really incredible to be able to blow up a balloon using the eyes |
Shouldn't he have heard about this kind of anomalies? |

One would think so. Squirting milk out of the eye is a common enough trick. I guess the only thing really unusual about this man is the quantity of air he can pass through his eye, not that he can.

Woaw... That's a whole set of freakiness I never come into contact with before. I love it.
Now, I need to learn if I can do it and start squirting creepy stuff, like red food colouring. |
