The Guys head with the missing eye.

Anybody know where it goes or is it pointless?  I have been searching for a long time and getting frustrated.

I'd love to help, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you mean the statue you can knock the head off of? I think that's just for fun.

Ugh, I spent ages trying to figure out what to do with that and you're telling me it's a red herring!?  I hate that  >:(

I too found it disappointing - I was really excited thinking I had discovered the key to an easter egg. After puzzling over it for half an hour I realized that the cat was just a cat.  :)

What cat?

We're talking about a head.
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

It's a figure of speech - it means that although something could be special, sometimes, it's no more than what you see.

BTW; just realized that the phrase was first coined by Sigmund Freud - his words were "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

Actually, I think it does serve a purpose: (MASSIVE SPOILERS) as a hint on how to defeat the final boss.

Robert might be on to something there actually, never thought of that.

Also, Chibi, it's strange, cause deep in the files of Aquaria there IS in fact a cat. However, I don't think I've seen it ingame.

Probably just a passing idea for the game that never got implemented?

Yes I found that ead and swam around with it for a while but I thought that it was just a little piece of amusement or whimsy lol

You could use it the same way that you use the rocks though ;D

Man - that hint went right over my head. Good thinking, Robert!  :)

[EDIT]: It would be neat if the eye could be dragged between maps - Alec could create an achievement like the Half-Life 2 garden gnome one (here)

I'm tempted to do that myself now.
